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.

I hate to say this recipe was terrible because I think used as a pasta sauce it would be okay however it would need to be thinned down some for a sauce and more spices added. The tomato paste was way too overbearing in this spread. I definitely will not make this again unless my playing with it will turn it into a great pasta sauce. Read More

This would be good if it was called tomato and basil dip or use as a pizza sauce or if you thinned it out it would be a wonderful pasta sauce. But as a Sun dried tomato spread you cannot even taste the sun dried tomato part. Dip is good yes but I was looking for a sun dried tomato dip. I added mozzarella cheese and heated in the microwave and turned it into a pizza dip. Read More

I made this receipe but used more olive oil to make it less like a paste. I froze the spread to have on hand for later use. It is delicious. Read More

Not bad. I added way more basil & sugar than the recipe called for (personal tastes) the oil from the sun dried tomatoes plus a little extra olive oil because as is it was a little thick. Something different although I don't know if I'll make it again. Thanks. Jan 13th...I still stand by my changes but I just had about a 1/2 cup left-over spread with some left-over shredded rotisserie chicken white rice & parmesan cheese...yum! Hmmmm....I may find a different use for this recipe... Read More
