- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
- Zest of 1 lemon
Add tomatoes, shallot, garlic, white wine, apple cider vinegar, & sugar to a sauce pot and bring to a slow boil then reduce the heat to slow and cook until the liquid is gone and the tomatoes have a jam consistency then transfer the mix to a small bowl and place in the fridge until cooled. Once cooled add lemon zest & basil and mix evenly. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Add on burgers or fish, serve with goat cheese & grilled bread on a charcuterie board, & goes great on just about anything.
