Notes

Bring the feta to room temperature (about 30 minutes) before baking. If you use it right out of the fridge, you may have to bake it a few minutes longer.
You can adjust the amount of sugar, vinegar and basil to suit your taste. If the berries are not very sweet, add more.
Fresh basil can be replaced with mint.
White balsamic and be replaced with regular balsamic. Be sure to use a good quality vinegar.
Store leftovers in a covered/sealed container in the fridge. It can be rewarmed, or eaten cold.
