My first jar of Ajvar

My first jar of Ajvar

Zergut AjvarI like to shop at Gateway Produce, even before I read about them in VBJ. I like that the produce there generally is from our region. I also enjoy the ethnic selection just because it's a bit different from what I'm accustomed to. That's how I ended up with my first jar of Ajvar. I bought it on a whim, mostly because it said "Hot". After I got home I researched it. And then tasted it.

I'm a Hot Ajvar fan! I don't know if Zergut makes the best bottled ajvar or not, but I enjoy what I know so far. It's best on those little toasty breads from Trader Joe's , but simple sandwich bread nicely toasted works too.

Buying local, from Gateway Produce, is part of our normal shopping routine. If you wanted to live within walking distance of Gateway Produce, you would learn that the homes in the half-mile area that sold recently were between $119,000 and $186,000. Currently three homes on the market range from $128,000 to $194,000. I'm here to help if you'd like more information on this neighborhood.

So is this stuff just hot to be hot or does it actually have flavor with heat. Most things I find that say hot don't have flavor to back it up.

I would also have bought it on a whim, and also simply because it said "hot." Anything "hot" sounds good to me.

Todd, I didn't find it to be hot at all. Somewhere in the background I could taste the hot pepper, but no heat.

Mary, Thank you for noticing the comment about the neighborhood! It's a part of town that has mostly car-dependent store locations.
