I made it ...I love this, but I didn't at first. I made it as instructed but used fresh ginger. I found the ginger overpowering but the overall flavour strangely bland. I dumped the whole thing back in the pot the next day, added another pinch of salt (so around 1/4 tsp in total) and 3 T of cider vinegar. I boiled it for another half hour, scorched it just a tad, and the result is magic. Maybe my tomatoes weren't acidic enough or something, but I just found the cider vinegar had a nice brightness that made this just right for my taste buds. Next time the only change I'll make is using brown sugar to give it a little more depth of flavour. Definitely a keeper!Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809278837036511011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-56711723563355870162010-08-12T12:52:48.722-05:002010-08-12T12:52:48.722-05:00Lapis ~ Wow, indeed!

I went with fresh ginger and that was tons of work, having someone peel while i sliced and chopped made it so much faster. My housemates and I love spicy foods so I left the chilies in; next time I plan on using a little less sugar.<br /><br />The smell went from spaghetti sauce to something deeper and sweeter... I ate some with chevre and crackers for dinner.

The cherry tomatoes were so sweet! I even cut back on the sugar amount because of this by almost half and it was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Thank you for your awesome recipe and many others alike.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332560351333978474noreply@blogger.com
