  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes
  • ⅔ cup white wine vinegar

  2. Add tomatoes and increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften and begin to burst, about ten minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced, about 30 minutes.
