Recipe Talk

I've heard this called roadkill, but I can't find a recipe and have lost mine. It's been a couple years since I've made it, so I can't remember the amounts. It has red peppers, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. You simmer those for an hour?? and then pour over cream cheese. It's very sweet and eaten with crackers. Has anyone made this and know how much of each to use??? Any insights would be great!!

SWEET RED BELL PEPPER DIP

1 red bell pepper, cut in pieces
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 8oz. pack of cream cheese
Place bell pepper, sugar and vinegar in a blender. It might seem there’s little liquid to blend, but it will. Believe me.
Transfer the blended mixture to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil - watch it, because it could boil over.

Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes.
Let it cool a bit.
Place cream cheese and most of the pepper mixture in a food processor. Blend until smooth. It will turn a nice shade of pink. If the pink is too pale, keep adding pepper mixture. Just watch out that the mix is still creamy and does not become too runny.

Enjoy with Wheat Thins or Ritz Chips.

You could also enjoy this dip without mixing the cream cheese. It makes a great addition to a sandwich. If you’re too lazy or the market is out of red bell peppers, my friend Ana’s mom does it with jarred red bell peppers. If using those, you can omit the boiling part.
