ingredients
- 1 1/2 grape, Tomatoes
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
Method
Step 1
Heat a saucepan over medium high heat. Add the tomatoes, garlic, sugar, and lime juice. Stir often. Cook until the tomatoes begin to burst. If needed, use a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes apart. Continue to cook as the mixture boils, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 2
Let the tomatoes cool for a few minutes. Then carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor. Blend until smooth and no chunks are left (or alternately, leave as is and don’t puree).
Step 3
Pour into a jar and let the tomato mixture continue to cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 4
Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
