Spicy Adjika without Tomatoes

A hot sauce for winter — tasty, quick, and easy! I can't imagine fall anymore without canning, without the "Oh, let me have a little taste" and the "So good!" It's a way of caring for my family and making the house feel cozy. Today I'm sharing my recipe for adjika made without tomatoes. The sauce comes out spicy, fragrant, and zesty — I think a lot of people will love it. (Adjika is a spicy Caucasian pepper-and-garlic relish.)

    1. Wash the bell and chili peppers, remove the seeds and stems (for a spicier adjika, you can leave the chili seeds in), and cut into a few pieces.
    1. Peel the garlic.
    1. Wash the zucchini and remove the seeds and peel (note that the 1 kg weight is given without the seeds and peel), then cut into rough pieces.
    1. Rinse the apples too, peel them, remove the cores, and cut into quarters.
    1. Grind all the prepared ingredients through a meat grinder fitted with the fine plate, and transfer to a pot.
    1. Pour the vegetable oil into the adjika, add the salt and sugar, and stir.
    1. Set the pot over medium heat and cook for about 40 minutes after it comes to a boil, then add the vinegar and cook for another 10 minutes.
    1. Spoon the boiling-hot adjika into dry, sterile jars and screw on sterile lids. Wrap the jars in a fleece blanket (or anything else warm) and leave to cool completely. This takes about 24 hours.
  • Move the jars to a dark, cool spot for storage (a cellar or basement).
  • The adjika turned out great — pleasantly spicy, juicy, and thick, not runny — just right with meat!
  • Enjoy!
