Corozo* is a tiny dark red fruit. It comes from a wild palm and we love it. As a kid we would eat it with salt; alone it is very sour. We drink the juice weekly at home; it is very refreshing, and even sweetened is still somewhat tart.
In a medium pot over medium heat cook the corozo* in 4 cups of water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until you see the water has turned a deep, red wine color.


Remove from the heat, strain and keep the liquid; discard the fruit.
