Preparing the Balsamic Reduction

Make the Reduction
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and reduced by half. Let it cool.

Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl. Mince the garlic cloves and mix everything together. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside to let the flavors meld.

Toast the Baguette
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
