Sun-Dried Tomatoes - Favorite Thing

I decided to use my Saturday slot to share with you some things I really like. These are not going to be solicited reviews and I don't have a giveaway. It's just stuff I like, use and want to tell you about!


I love sun-dried tomatoes but I tend to use them in spurts. I use them in everything and then I forget about them for long periods of time. I used to buy the ones in the jar packed in oil and, during the lull in my sun-dried tomato usage, they would go bad. I was forever throwing out spoiled half jars of sun-dried tomatoes, which I hated.

I recently found sun-dried tomatoes packed like dried cranberries. What an amazing thing! No extra oil and I think they'll last a lot longer. Christopher Ranch is the brand in my grocery store, though there may be others. I'm in a big sun-dried tomato usage period right now. I've been julienning them and putting them on pizza and basically chopping them up and throwing them in everything. Last night I made a delicious dish with barley, collards, raisins, pecans, onions and garlic and put a bunch of chopped sun-dried tomatoes in there; yum!

If you love sun-dried tomatoes and didn't know, or hadn't tried them packed like these. Look for them in your grocery and give them a try!
