<< I had noticed tamarind as an ingredient in a number of sauces.
I bought some today, I thought I'd give it a try next time we make our
sauce. Do any of you have any experience using it? >>

I often use tamarind in Indian and Thai cooking.  It is primarily a souring 
agent.  Tamarind comes in various forms: dried with seeds in a block, "fresh 
in the pod in the produce department, as a juice in a bottle, as a powder, or 
concentrated in a jar.  Steps for usage depend on what you're starting with.
