    I bought a jar of this spread from Trader Joe’s. I used it today to make a lentil loaf sandwich ( I’m vegetarian). I’ve never tasted a better sandwich. Needless to say I immediately wanted the recipe to make this spread myself. Thank you.

    I have just tried this recipe and the ajvar is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you! 😊
    Just one question, how long the ajvar will last if stored in a dark and cool place?

      I am glad you like it. If you apply the method described in the video you can preserve ajvar for a few months in a dark and cool place. However, I always keep ajvar in my fridge, because I am not sure that my pantry is cold enough, so I never tried it.

    That looks delicious...One tip my baba left us was to cut the vegetables with a wooden knife...I really don't know if this made a difference, but hers was amazing.

      @@ivanalalicki I just made some last night it was magnificent. I simmered the garlic in some grapeseed oil while roasting the peppers. Then I cooked the peppers and eggplant for a while to evaporate the water and it got thick. I slowly stirred in the garlic and oil with some sea salt. I water bath canned it for 15-20 mins for half pints.

      Ajvar is already cooked after the peppers are roasted and ground. It is served as a spread or condiment, paired with meat, cheese, and pastry.
