Author Notes: An abundance of vine ripe golden cherry tomatoes challenged me to develop a recipe that used a quantity of these sweet gems. I literally threw them in a pot with a few of my favorite Asian flavor accents. The result was more than the sum of its parts. - REC

Makes 1 cup

1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cups halved golden cherry tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger root
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

Coat bottom of a medium sized pan with the oil; heat over medium high heat.
Add the tomatoes, garlic, ginger root and crushed pepper; simmer 15 minutes..
Add the vinegar and cook 5-10 minutes more or till a jam-like consistency. Depending on usage serve warm, at room temperature or chilled. Easily doubles.
