Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large red capsicums (bell peppers)
- 300 grams granulated sugar
- 100 ml apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 100 ml water
Instructions
Wash the red capsicums thoroughly, remove the stems and seeds, and finely dice them into small cubes.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the diced capsicums, minced garlic, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and water.
If you prefer a spicy kick, stir in the red chili flakes at this stage.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring the mixture to dissolve the sugar completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The capsicums should soften, and the mixture should begin to thicken into a marmalade-like consistency.
Once the mixture reaches a jam-like thickness, remove it from the heat. Take into account that it will thicken further as it cools.
Use a sterilized jar or airtight container to store the marmalade. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate.
Serve as a condiment with cheese, grilled meats, or bread, and enjoy!
