  • If you don't have time to make your own sun-dried tomatoes, you can buy them pre-made. Be sure to choose a brand that uses high-quality tomatoes and no preservatives.
  • To make the spread ahead of time, simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before spreading it on crackers or bread.
  • This spread is also a great way to use up leftover sun-dried tomatoes. If you have any leftover tomatoes after making a recipe, simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the spread to taste. Some popular additions include chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or thyme, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
