sugar

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: red wine vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is lighter and healthier, while red wine vinegar is usually more affordable.

Use 400 grams of cherry tomatoes, which can be small tomatoes like Queen tomatoes or yellow and red ones.

Put sugar in water in a pot on the fire and bring it to a boil.

Once the sugar starts boiling, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes.

Cover the pot with a lid and remove it from the fire, letting it sit for at least 12 hours.

After 12 hours, the tomatoes should be cool; place the pot in a safe spot where it won't be disturbed.

The next morning, put the pot back on the fire and boil the tomatoes for 5 minutes.

Cover the pot again with the lid and wait another 12 hours.

After 12 hours, put the pot back on the fire; don't worry if it boils again.

Once cooled, after about 5 hours, remove the tomatoes from the pot and place them in a plastic container to cool down for about 10 minutes.

After cooling, place the tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let them dry a little.

The drying time depends on the humidity of the environment; then, transfer them to a jar for storage.
