Ingredients

• 1 Large red pepper (Finely diced into very small cubes, or brunoise)
• 100 g White sugar
• 40 ml White or apple cider vinegar (Use white or apple cider vinegar)
• 40 ml Water
• 125 g Cream cheese (At room temperature)
• Crackers, bread, or toast (For serving; quantity to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely dice the red pepper into very small cubes, brunoise-style.

2. 2

   Place the diced pepper, sugar, vinegar, and water in a saucepan.

3. 3

   Cook the mixture over very low heat so it reduces. Stir occasionally and make sure it does not stick.

4. 4

   When the mixture has reduced, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

5. 5

   Serve the pepper reduction with cream cheese at room temperature.

6. 6

   Spread the cream cheese and reduction over bread, crackers, or toast, as preferred.

Notes

The source does not specify the exact reduction time or final consistency; cook over low heat until the mixture reduces, monitoring it to prevent sticking. The calories for the crackers, bread, or toast are an approximate estimate because no quantity or specific option was provided.
