Ingredients

• 4 large red capsicums (bell peppers)
• 300 grams granulated sugar
• 100 ml apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 100 ml water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red capsicums thoroughly, remove the stems and seeds, and finely dice them into small cubes.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the diced capsicums, minced garlic, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and water.

Step 4

If you prefer a spicy kick, stir in the red chili flakes at this stage.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring the mixture to dissolve the sugar completely.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 7

Let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The capsicums should soften, and the mixture should begin to thicken into a marmalade-like consistency.

Step 8

Once the mixture reaches a jam-like thickness, remove it from the heat. Take into account that it will thicken further as it cools.

Step 9

Use a sterilized jar or airtight container to store the marmalade. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate.

Step 10

Serve as a condiment with cheese, grilled meats, or bread, and enjoy!
