Spicy Adjika for the Winter (Finger-Licking Good)

Follow this recipe and put up a real, proper adjika for the winter! I got it from my grandmother, and her adjika is hands down the best I've ever tasted. The sauce comes out pleasantly spicy and thick, with a deep red color. Give it a try; it's not hard at all! (Adjika is a spicy Caucasian pepper-and-tomato relish.)
