Ingredients

5 Cups Chopped Roma Tomatoes about 7-8 medium Roma tomatoes
2 Cloves Garlic minced or grated
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger
1 Tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 Tsp Salt
Fresh-Cracked Black Pepper to taste
Pinch Cinnamon about 1/8 tsp or less

Instructions

Begin by prepping all of the veggies as directed - chop the tomatoes, mince the garlic, etc.
Add all of the ingredients to a saucepot, stir, and bring to a gentle boil on medium heat.
Once the mixture is boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and give it a good stir. Simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the tomatoes have broken down into a thick, jammy consistency.
When done, remove the compote from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I recommend Roma tomatoes for this recipe because they're the right balance between flesh and gooey juice, but you can also use other tomato varieties. Just note that if you use tomatoes with less liquid, like cherry tomatoes, you may need to add 1-2 tbsp of water to the mixture in the beginning to help things get cooking.
