What is a chamoy pickle?<\/h2>\r\nA chamoy pickle is a dill pickle that has been soaked in a mixture of chamoy, sweet and sour candy powders, and Tajin<\/a> (a Mexican seasoning made with chili peppers, lime and salt). When soaked in chamoy, dill pickles turn a shockingly vibrant red hue and absorb all the diverse flavors in the sauce. They're salty, sweet, fruity, spicy and sour all at the same time.\r\n\r\nIf you enjoy a pickle spear with your spicy\u00a0bloody mary<\/a>, then chamoy pickles will be right up your alley. They have a very similar vibe but with a slightly fruity undertone.\r\n\r\nAnd for those unfamiliar with chamoy, it is a traditional Mexican sauce made from dried fruits and chili peppers. It has a unique fruity yet savory flavor with varying amounts of heat. For lack of a better word, it's \"swicy<\/a>\" and is often enjoyed with fresh fruit and vegetables or stirred into drinks.\r\n
