Ajvar

Ajvar is a traditional condiment, spread, or relish called ajvar, originating from the Leskovac area. The ajvar is produced exclusively from local red pepper varieties. The peppers are roasted over an open flame and they are cleaned, minced, dried, and fried slowly and by hand. The flavor is pleasant and peppery as this ajvar shouldn't contain any parts of seeds nor the dark and charred parts of skin that comes off during the roasting process. Ajvar can be sweet, piquant or hot.
