Ajvar is like the Balkan version of salsa. But better. (Especially since actual attempts at salsa here usually include ketchup.) A hearty mix of bell peppers, garlic, eggplant and chili peppers, this regional specialty is good anytime of day or night . If you are staying for any length of time, I highly recommend investing in a jar of of your own. It requires virtually no preparation and can serve as a sandwich topping, salad, or substantial spread for any number of the delicious local baked goods. Though you can find ajvar in grocery stores, the homemade kind is in an entirely different league. Check local open air markets until mid autumn. And bring me back a jar.
