Good day, dear guests of our site! Today we will prepare adjika from tomatoes for the winter.
In fact, calling this sauce that way is not entirely correct, because real Georgian or Abkhaz adjika is prepared completely differently. To prepare it, only hot pepper is used, which is ground to a puree with salt and spices. But, recently, recipes with the addition of tomatoes are becoming more and more common.
You can prepare adjika in several ways: with and without cooking, with and without sterilization. They also experiment with the ingredients, adding various vegetables or fruits: eggplants, bell peppers, apples, etc. And to add piquancy to the sauce, in addition to hot peppers, garlic or horseradish is used. Below we will take a closer look at several ways to prepare this hot sauce, choosing the simplest and most delicious options.

Adjika recipe from apples and tomatoes for the winter with cooking without sterilization
We put the mixture into jars and roll up the lids. Place a jar that is not full on your finger so that the mixture does not come into contact with the iron lid. You shouldn’t fill it to the very top; many housewives fill it this way and force the lid to close. This is of no use.
I have jars with Euro lids, very convenient. Screw the lid on and you're done. You can take any container, even bottles with caps. There is no need to wrap it up, let it cool in this form on the table. There is no need to turn the jars over either.
Well, this is such a fragrant and tasty seasonal preparation. I have lids with strawberries, I bought a large package, I’ve been using them for 2 years now. But finally it was over, I finished them off. Next time I'll take it with a different pattern.
There were a couple extra spoons left, I cooled it, and my husband ate it with soup and brushed the bread. He said that adjika with tomatoes and apples turned out very tasty. Of course, he lacked spiciness, but despite this, he ate everything. Next time I'll make it spicy.
You can also make different ones, one batch spicy, one medium spicy, just be sure to write the year on the lid and label medium spicy or spicy, so that in winter you can figure out which is which.
You can store it in any dry and cool place, for example, in a closet or cellar. If you store it in an apartment, you can put it on the balcony, or put it in a dark place. Perfectly stored anywhere. In our country, this seasoning does not survive until spring; we eat it in the first half of winter. But until this time it is stored wonderfully.
Here is my video recipe for adjika with carrots, bell peppers, apples and tomatoes, which I prepared last year. This is not raw adjika, but with cooking, but without additional sterilization of the finished product in a pan of water. If you are interested, you can watch the video.
I will be glad if you like the recipe. We really like this vegetable platter. Try it too, I’ll be glad if you rate it. Bon appetit. Happy preparations.

Adjika with apples and tomatoes for the winter (very tasty recipe with carrots)
The mass turns out to be quite thick, it somewhat reminds me of caviar. Indeed, such a piquant and tasty vegetable caviar. Everything about her is in balance.
According to the play, so to speak, I will focus on important points in preparation. Thus, so that you do not make mistakes and prepare delicious adjika with apples at home. A recipe with step-by-step photos will help you.
Ingredients:
- 600 grams tomato
- 250 grams of carrots
- 250 grams of apples
- 250 grams of sweet bell pepper
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 PC. hot pepper
- 50 grams of sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vinegar 9%
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (refined)
Let's prepare the food, as I already wrote above, I love ratunda pepper, but it is not ripe yet, I cook from what I have, and later I will add my favorite one. The set of vegetables is quite rich, the taste will be rich.
The seasoning is prepared by chopping vegetables in a meat grinder, or using a blender. How convenient for anyone.
I peel the carrots, be sure to wash them, and chop them. Take a vegetable that is sweet and bright.
Wash the tomatoes, cut out a space near the stem, and cut them into pieces, so it will be convenient to chop.
Take tomatoes that are dense, not juicy, I use the cream variety. They have a thick skin, a lot of pulp inside, and a minimum of juice and seeds.
Wash the peppers, cut them, remove the tail and seeds, and rinse the inside to remove any remaining seeds that may have attached to the walls inside. Again, I grind it so that it is convenient to pass it through a meat grinder, or grind it with a blender.
This pepper is not sweet, the usual herbaceous taste, but the thick-walled ones are more “meaty” and sweet, with a pronounced pepper aroma. It is the meaty varieties that are most suitable for lecho.
I use apples with their skins on, without peeling them. I cut them into pieces, be sure to wash them and inspect them for rotten areas. I’ll say right away that it’s better not to take these. I cut into pieces, cutting out the tails and the middle.
Adjika is usually prepared in the fall, from small vegetables that are a little spoiled or damaged. These are not suitable for storage, but they are great for recycling.
But be sure to cut everything out if you take such vegetables, so as not to spoil the taste of the finished dish.
I peel the garlic. And I put all the chopped vegetables into a bowl, thus preparing them for processing. Don't worry if the apples turn a little dark, that's okay.
But I chop them last, as you may have noticed, so that they don’t darken too much while I process the rest of the vegetables.
Now it's time to use the “miracle” devices, kitchen assistants. I have this blender, the amount of work is not big, I will grind it with it. But you can pass everything through a meat grinder with a mesh with medium holes.
If you use a blender, you don’t need to puree it, we need pieces of vegetables. But not very large.
After grinding, this happens in batches on a blender, I put them in a saucepan with a thick bottom. I have a cauldron, old and good. I put salt. Then you can adjust the amount of dry ingredients to your taste.
I add sugar. I like to create a sweet and sour flavor for the seasoning, but you can add less sugar. Everything is at your discretion. When it comes to such products, it is always difficult to adjust to everyone’s taste. I like sweets, some like salty, and my neighbor likes spicy, so much so that it burns in his mouth. Therefore, I put it according to my taste, you make corrections according to your own.
I add refined vegetable oil and turn on the heat. Naturally, mix everything. Bring to a boil and cook for about an hour over low heat, covered.
When you lift the lid to stir, it is worth stirring periodically, since we are boiling it to the desired thickness. Be careful, as the mass is thick and shoots. Take care of your face and eyes, in a word.
This is how, during the cooking process, adjika from tomatoes with apples and carrots changes its color from more red to orange. The boiling is not vigorous, I opened the lid to stir the mixture. My vegetables are not juicy, and it will take me 1 hour to boil.
To enrich and enhance the taste, many housewives add ground red and black pepper, coriander, dill and parsley, sweet ground paprika and suneli hops. I don't add any spices.
5 minutes before readiness, pour in 2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar. I stir and let it boil for 5 minutes.
While the mixture was cooking, you need to work on the jars. We wash them and sterilize them, as usual, I do this over a kettle. I washed the lids, filled them with water, and after boiling, boiled them for 3-5 minutes. There are different methods for sterilizing containers, use the one you are used to, or whatever is convenient for you.
