--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      ounce         tamarind*
  10      tablespoons   hot water
   1      teaspoon      salt
     1/4  cup           sugar
   6      tablespoons   rice wine vinegar

* availabe at some Asian and Indian markets

Soak the tamarind in about 5 Tbsp. of hot tap water. Stir until you have a paste. 
Strain the juice from the pulp, squeezing the pulp in a small strainer. Discard 
the pulp.

Place another 5 Tbsp. of water in a small saucepan. Add 2 Tbsp. of the tamarind 
juice, along with the remaining ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook, 
uncovered, for about 10 minutes, stirring often. The color should look like a 
light brown syrup. You should have 3/4 c. liquid. If not, add additional water 
and heat again for just a moment.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
