Pepper sauce for winter
Description
Homemade sauce is easy and quick to prepare. You can also add a couple of tablespoons of this sauce to borscht—believe me, you'll definitely get fresh summer notes. All dishes acquire a pleasant taste with this sauce. You can make the sauce slightly sweet, as in our version, or prepare it spicy by adding, for example, some chili. Be sure to make a batch in advance—I think the result will pleasantly surprise you. The sauce is ready. Store it in the refrigerator and serve with dishes.
