Ingredients

• 500 grams ripe tomatoes
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove the stems.

Step 2

Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges or quarter them depending on their size.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and white wine vinegar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a light syrup.

Step 4

Add the ground cinnamon, ground allspice, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper to the syrup. Stir to combine and allow the spices to infuse for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the tomato wedges to the saucepan. Gently stir to coat the tomatoes with the spiced syrup.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the tomatoes cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. The tomatoes should soften slightly but still hold their shape.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the sweet spiced tomatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright finish.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or let it cool completely and serve as a topping for bread or grilled meats.
