This tasty sauce is simmering on top of my stove as I write this, and it smells fantastic. I got the recipe from the September 2004 BBC Good Food Magazine. It is a very versatile sauce and would go good with pasta or also as a pizza topping. it is also an essential ingredient in the Tomato, Goat's Cheese and Olive Gratin that I am posting seperately.

- Add the balsamic vinegar and stir until it is completely evaporated.
