The special thing about this tomato sauce is the cinnamon and honey. These 'sweet' flavors 
combined with the olives, garlic and mint give this Greek style tomato sauce a deliciously different flavor. It's wonderful on pasta or baked on chicken as in the photo. This is a good sauce to play with.
We served it as a lunch special with spaghetti topped with grilled chicken and this sauce.
