Sweet Red Pepper Dip

Ingredients

• 1 red bell pepper (large, finely chopped)
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar (or 1/2 cup white vinegar)
• 5.5 tbsp sugar (5 to 6 tablespoons)
• 1 tsp salt
• cinnamon (a pinch (optional))
• 200 g cream cheese

Steps

1. 1

   Wash and chop the red pepper into very fine pieces.

2. 2

   In a pot, add the apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and the pinch of cinnamon.

3. 3

   Mix the ingredients well in the pot and add the chopped pepper.

4. 4

   Cook over medium-high heat for approximately 20 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. 5

   Continue cooking until the liquid reduces and the mixture acquires a jam-like or glossy marmalade texture.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, mix part of the pepper jam with the cream cheese until reaching a smooth and homogeneous consistency.

7. 7

   Serve the cream cheese mixture in a bowl and garnish by pouring the rest of the jam over the top.

Notes

You can serve this dip with crackers, toast, or crusty bread. If you prefer a less intense flavor, you can use 1/2 cup of white vinegar instead of the cup of apple cider vinegar.
