    Tomato should be very soft, but still be able to hold its shape. While the tomatoes are cooking place the red balsamic in a pot and reduce down to a thick sauce. Once it is reduced place it in the refrigerator and cool. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.

    Carefully remove the skin and dice the tomato into ¼” cubes. Place in a bowl and chill for an hour
