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.

  • The mass should start to turn into a deep red paste.
  • Add one tablespoon of oil.
  • Taste and then add the salt and pepper as needed (some brands of dried tomatoes are very salty).
  • You may need more water to make it spreadable.
  • Spoon into a glass jar, pressing down with a spoon and then pour olive oil over top to keep out the air.
  • Always make sure that the top is covered with olive oil.
  • Keep refrigerated.
  • Shira says:.
  • I buy the tomatoes in the shuk (outdoor market), it pays to shop around because they can be quite expensive.
  • I have also made this with lemon juice instead of vinegar but I think it spoils faster.
