across the bottom of the pot, the line should remain visible briefly before the mixture slowly closes.
If the ajvar is still watery, continue cooking it uncovered over low heat.
Mild and Spicy Variations
Mild ajvar
Omit the chili peppers and use only sweet red peppers. This version is suitable for anyone who prefers a gentle, naturally sweet roasted-pepper flavor.
Spicy ajvar
Roast 5–10 fresh red chili peppers with the sweet peppers. Begin with a smaller quantity, especially if the chilies are very hot.
Wear gloves when handling hot peppers
