Type of Meal: Appetizer
Ingredients:
2 c. Cherry Tomatoes halved or quartered, depending on their size
2 teaspoons salt
2 T. Honey
1 T. Hot Chile like a Jalapeno finely minced
1. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt, toss and place in colander. This step renders some of the clear tomato liquid so the compote won’t become too watery. Let sit for 10 minutes.
