You can't beat Tomtoes & Onions together - Add some fresh basil, balsamic and a bit of olive oil -Perfection. I didn't use any sugar. 5 star all the way

Strong balsamic flavor - rich and smoky, but for me, too overwhelming. I would dilute it (maybe mine was too potent a brand) or use less next time. Easy to fix and pretty to look at. Thank you for a nice change.
