Apple Ajika
Description
Perfectly complements meat, poultry, and side dishes. This sunny, slightly sweet adjika is great for sandwiches or salads. You can cook it, and then it will keep until winter; or simply blend it raw and enjoy immediately. Feel free to experiment with apples—use only sweet ones or mix several varieties. I'm making a small batch, but you can increase the ingredient quantities if you'd like more. Store the finished sauce in the refrigerator for several days.
