Step 2
Cut the tomatoes in half and grate them on the coarse side of a box grater, cut side down. This removes the skin and the spot where the stem was attached. You only need the tomato flesh.

Step 4
When the adjika has reduced by 50%, add sugar, salt, and vinegar; press the garlic through a garlic press and add the spices to the adjika. Mix everything well. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then turn off the heat. Pack into jars and seal them. Sterilize the jars first; you can also use simply clean jars, but in that case store the finished adjika in the refrigerator.
