During the time the bites are being prepared, make the sauce:
- Warm a cup of water on a saucepan (to not let it boil).
- Add the finely chopped tomatoes and basil.
- Once the tomatoes have boiled down and the water has turned red, lower the heat to your lowest setting and add the agave and brown sugar next.
- Keep stirring as you add the remaining ingredients.
- Keep tasting the sauce until you have achieved your desired “heat” and “sweetness”
- Simmer for about 10 minutes and remove from heat.
