As we fall into autumn, you can still make this Seriously Simple flavor enhancer since ripe red tomatoes are still in season, albeit at the trail end. This is one of those recipes I make annually when I know I still want a concentrated flavor condiment. Talk about easy; this one-step, sweet-savory relish, topping or stand-in for ketchup is very versatile.
The tomatoes become sweet and caramelized, and the thyme offers a savory herbal touch. Through the years I have amped up the flavor with a touch of red chile flakes, smoked paprika, or chipotle sauce. You can have fun adding your own signature flavors.
