Roasted Tomatoes with Balsamic Reduction

Always take advantage of tomato season. Summer rule number one. In Tennessee we call them home-grown tomatoes. Although I never understood that term. We didn’t grow tomatoes. They were purchased from road-side stands or the grocery store. But even the advertising signs said home-grown so I accepted it as a type of tomato.

Home-grown has come to mean seasonal and locally grown. The nutrient-rich soil transfers all it’s goodness to the tomatoes, producing a complexity of flavors.

I found golden beauties at the farmers market. With one bite they literally burst in your mouth. To complement their flavor, I reduced down some good quality balsamic and drizzled it just so. But then I wanted to dip everything into the balsamic.

Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Make the balsamic reduction first.

  3. The reduction will cook down to half and will coat the back of a spoon when done.

  5. Serve tomatoes drizzled with balsamic reduction.
