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.

  • Use a food processor or blender to make the spread: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Taste the spread and adjust the seasonings as needed: You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
  • Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
