I really enjoyed this. DH didn't like it as a topping for bruschetta but we both agreed it would be good as a sauce for lamb, chicken, pork or even fish. I was pressed for time so I placed it in the fridge to cool a bit. This makes alot so I have a bunch leftover and liked it even more the next day. The flavors had a chance to meld. I will be making this for a holiday party and I plan to make it the day b4 since I thought it was better and it will make my life easier. Thanks for posting this great recipe.
