Instructions
Making Adjika
- Wash all the vegetables, except for the garlic, and slice into smaller pieces. Grind using a food processor.
- Place the combined ingredients into a pot and bring it to a boil. Continue cooking it on medium for about an hour while occasionally stirring.
- Once it's cooked, add oil, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Let the adjika cook for another 20 minutes while occasionally stirring.
- Remove the adjika from the heat, add pressed garlic to the mixture and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour. If canning, do not allow the adjika to cool.
Canning Adjika
- Sterilize the jars by preheating an oven to 215°F. Wash the jars and lids, then place them in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are completely dry.
- With the help of a canning funnel, place the hot adjika into the hot jars.
- Close all the lids very tightly and rest upside down for a few hours.
- Store the canned adjika in a cool place for up to a year.
