Tomato Basil Simple Syrup
Place a sauce pot onto a scale and tare. Roughly slice your tomatoes and add in. Make note of the weight and use half of the tomato weight in sugar. Add a handful of thinly sliced basil and a few pinches salt. Simmer until the mixture becomes dark in color and sticky, stirring occasionally. About 10-15 minutes. Strain and cool. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Will keep for 1-2 weeks!
