How to Make Tamarillo Sauce

  1. Peel and chop 1 pound of tamarillos.
  2. Combine the chopped tamarillos with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan.
  3. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the tamarillos are completely soft.
  4. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  5. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or fibers.
  6. Return the strained sauce to the saucepan. Stir in 1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable stock, 1 teaspoon of your favorite spice (e.g., ground ginger, cinnamon, or a pinch of chili flakes), and additional sugar and water to taste. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. This sauce freezes beautifully! Enjoy!
