Leskovački domaći ajvar is a traditional condiment, spread, or relish called ajvar, originating from the Leskovac area. The ajvar is produced exclusively from local red pepper varieties such as domaća kanija, kurtovska kapija, and palanačko čudo.

The peppers are roasted over an open flame and they are cleaned, minced, dried, and fried slowly and by hand. The flavor is pleasant and peppery as this ajvar shouldn't contain any parts of seeds nor the dark and charred parts of skin that comes off during the roasting process.

This traditional peppers-and-eggplant relish is one of the most popular condiments all over the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The most prized type of ajvar is often the Macedonian one, made only with red peppers. Though its origins are often disputed, the name ajvar is said to stem from the Turkish word havyar, meaning caviar.
