SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD
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.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHEESE SPREAD
Made this for Christmas-so good, I made it for gifts. So easy and tastes like an expensive purchased cheese spread. From Women's Day. It originally called for sundried tomato pesto, which I couldn't find, so used the tapenade instead. I like Laurel Chenel herb goat cheese for this.
