Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of the spread. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, juicy aroma.
  • Use fresh basil: Basil is a key ingredient in this spread, so be sure to use fresh leaves. Dried basil will not provide the same flavor or aroma.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are softened and have released their juices.
  • Let the spread cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with your favorite crackers or bread: This spread is delicious on crackers, bread, or even vegetables.
