How to properly store raw adjika

When preparing raw adjika, it is necessary to take into account several factors due to which it will be suitable for the allotted time.

The finished product must be stored in a refrigeration device. Very often housewives have a question about why sometimes in adjika, even made according to a proven recipe, the fermentation process begins much earlier than the expiration date.

There may be several reasons for this:

• during the cooking process, unboiled water could get into the sauce;
• vegetable ingredients may have been of poor quality;
• Rubbish and dirt accidentally got into the spicy snack.

Therefore, the preparation of vegetables and herbs (they must be washed with special care) for raw adjika must be taken with great responsibility.

In order to dispel doubts and remain confident that adjika will not spoil soon, you should add a couple of aspirin tablets to it (1 tablet per 1 liter of savory snack). You can also use vinegar or even vodka as preservatives.

A large amount of spicy ingredients in adjika will also help it stay fresh longer. For the same purpose, while preparing a dish, you can first grind and boil the tomatoes, and then add other raw ingredients to them.

Always stir the sauce using a wooden spoon.Small glass jars that close tightly, or even plastic bottles, are perfect for storing adjika. Before screwing, you should pour a small amount of vegetable oil on top of each container to be more confident in the safety of the snack dish.

If you follow all the recommendations from experienced housewives, then the adjika will be able to stand in a suitable form throughout the winter period.
