Looking for more things to do with the pounds of tomatoes my parents and I grew in our gardens this year, I wanted to experiment with more canning recipes. This recipe looked so delish on some canning websites I had looked at, but of course my tomatoes are yellow, so the color is definitely different, but it tastes amazing. It has a sweet, and acidic flavor, it is rich and light at the same time. I would smear this deliciousness on some bread and make a grilled cheese sandwich with it. You could also make bruschetta with this, or use it as an ingredient for a baked brie appetizer.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups or 1 pint of cherry tomatoes

Over medium-high heat add oil and add the tomatoes and garlic cooking for 3-5 minutes.

As the tomatoes start to break down, add brown sugar, honey, salt and red Chile flakes and spices. Cook for another 10 minutes pushing down the tomatoes with a wooden spoon to smash.

The sauce will begin to thicken. Now add the balsamic vinegar and basil, stirring to incorporate. Continue to cook for another 30-40 minutes until the mixture is thick and sticky.
