Adjika from Bell Peppers for Winter
Description
Winter preserve made at home. For this recipe you need juicy ripe bell peppers, a few hot peppers, garlic, and fresh herbs. My garlic cloves are small, so I use two; if yours are large, one will be enough. You don’t need much herbs—I add a small bunch. Sterilize the jars and lids for canning in advance. Pour the hot, boiling adjika into the jars, seal them, and wrap them in warmth for 24 hours. The jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
