    Mary Ellen, a big thank you for choosing this recipe. I didn't know this was on the ball website either or could be canned using safety methods. I had a lot of luck growing eggplant in my garden last year for the first time. I have been having much luck with peppers also and have ordered Ajvar pepper seeds from an heirloom seed company to grow this year - with eggplant and pepper in mind as one of the first uses. I agree that there are not enough international type recipes on the websites or canning books. And that is somewhat odd, because so many countries preserve their food by canning, as they are poorer countries and don't use freezers for abundant storage of food, reserving that for meats mostly. Thank you for showing us this and for being a part of the collaboration.

  • @candiceprince743

    I LOVE this stuff! My late husband was from Serbia, so the first I tasted was at the family table homemade by my mother-in-law. This is so good on smoked sausage (theirs is divine) or with any roasted porked. I like mine mild but I'm sure a little heat makes the flavor zing. I've grown ajvarski peppers three years to make this but haven't gotten to. This is the year! I plan on roasting my peppers on an open grill as they do there. The Balkan food is totally amazing so I really appreciate you sharing this recipe AND for pronouncing it correctly! Awesome video! Thanks Prepper Potpourri!
