SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD



Sun-Dried Tomato Spread image

I use this tomato-based spread in place of jelly on toast and bagels. My favorite is spreading it on tomato-basil bagels. I usually place 1/2 the spread in the refrigerator, and freeze the remainder for later use.

HOMEMADE SUN-DRIED TOMATO PASTE



Homemade Sun-dried Tomato Paste image

This is a wonderful paste that enhances many preparations. Small jars of puree can cost quite a lot and pureeing small amounts yourself is not practical. Instead, purchase a large jar of sun-dried tomatoes and make a big batch. You can add a TBS or two of this to purchased spaghetti or pizza sauce, or smear it as it is on pizza crusts. It's also great on sandwiches, chicken and eggs. It also freezes well. I freeze mine on cookie sheets in dollops, then when frozen drop into a zip lock baggie. That way I can take out and use what I want, when I want.
