Rinse the peeled tamarind under cool, running water.
In a large mixing bowl, add the rinsed tamarind, then cover with the boiling water. Cover the bowl with a dish cloth and set aside to soak for 20 minutes.
Once the tamarind is done soaking, strain the tamarind and the soaking water into a large pot, pressing the mixture firmly with a spatula to ensure you get all the strained pulp.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has softened and thickened.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before storing.
Enjoy!
