Notes
- Dried Hibiscus: dried hibiscus flowers, this is commonly used for making teas or other drinks. When these dried flowers are steeped in hot water they release a tart, almost cranberry like flavoring. They can be found in Mexican markets, in some markets in the Hispanic section, or online.
- Prunes: This recipe can be made with dried prunes, dates or raisins. These are used to help sweeten the sauce.
- Dried Apricots: Find these in the snack aisle in your local markets, they are simply dehydrated apricots, used to add flavor and sweetness to the sauce.
- Tajin: this is a popular seasoning made with chili peppers, lime and salt. If needed you could swap this ingredient out for chili peppers, dried or powder, and increase the amount of salt and lime juice in the recipe to get the taste you are wanting.
- Lime Juice: always go for freshly squeezed lime juice without any additional sweeteners or ingredients added.
- Consistency: use more or less water as needed to make the sauce as thin or thick as you need.
