Ingredients

2 pints cherry tomatoes (halved)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (2 TB-1/4 cup depending on personal taste)
1/4 cup basil (chopped)

Instructions

To start, take about 10 minutes to slice all the cherry tomatoes in half. This will speed up the cooking process.
In a sauce pan on pot on medium high heat add a little oil for cooking. About 2-3 tablespoons should be perfect. Add the halved cherry tomatoes into the pan.
They will sizzle which is perfect. Season with salt and black pepper. Do not add too much because you can add more later. You can always add more but not take it out if you over do it.
Cook the tomatoes, continue to stir them. There will come a point where they start to stick to the bottom of the pan more, add in the garlic now. Once garlic is fragrant you can turn off the heat.
Now, add in the balsamic vinegar. I used an emulsion blender because I like to leave a few chunky pieces but you can use a standard blender as well. After you blend add in the chopped basil, not before.
Lastly, taste for seasoning and its perfect to store for later or use it for a cherry tomato pasta sauce.
