This is really tasty! I use half as much syrup (2 tb)as directed in the recipe for a serving...I think this would be too thick and sweet for me if I used a quarter cup. I let it boil for about 10 minutes, and the consistency was good at that point. Thanks for the recipe; I may actually use up that big jar of tamarind pulp I bought so long ago!
