2 pints small tomatoes (cherry and/or pear)
2 tsp coarse salt & a few twists of the pepper mill
1/4 cup brown sugar (can increase, up to 1/2 cup, if you like it sweeter)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 small onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
1-1/2 cups water (or enough to just cover the tomatoes)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1-1/2 tsp dried thyme

Steps:

Wash tomatoes and drain. Add tomatoes to a pot and season with salt & pepper. Add the sugasr, vinegar, onion and red pepper flakes. Add approximately 1-1/2 cups water, or enough to just cover the tomatoes. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon and thyme (can use fresh, if desired, but double the amount) Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduced to a low simmer. Allow to reduce until thickened, and most of the water has evaporated--time varies between 20-30 minutes, possibly more. Just watch it carefully so that it doesn't dry out and burn. Can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of weeks.
