Sun Dried Tomato Butter


Years ago we went to southern California to visit my family.  While there, we stopped in San Diego one evening and ate dinner at a restaurant that was like a fish market.....actually, that might have even been the name of the place.  It was a fabulous place, right on the water, and we had an amazing dinner.  But the one thing that stood out for me was the butter they served with their rolls - it was sun dried tomato butter.  Now, before you disregard this recipe, please note that I myself am not a fan of sun dried tomatoes.  So it was shocking, especially to me, how much I liked this butter!

After we got home I decided to try to recreate that butter.  It may not be exactly like that restaurant, but this is definitely close.  My son loves this butter.....once he even suggested I make some rolls just so he could have this butter!  Give this recipe a try.  It's a nice change from ordinary butter, and it's super easy to throw together.  Make it when you have company over for dinner - I promise your guests will be impressed!

  1. What a fantastic idea! I love flavoured butters and this one looks absolutely scrumptious. Definitely want to try this one!

  2. I used to love this butter at the Anthony's Grotto restaurant in the San Diego area. It is scrumptious, and we would be full from the bread and butter before the meal even got there. I messed with trying to make a version of my own, it didn't work. I will try yours, it looks right! Thanks for sharing.

  5. I want to tell the world about a great man called Dr. Robinson buckler cured my husband and I from Herpes simplex with herbal medicine. My husband and I have was suffering from Herpes simplex for the past four (4) years. We have tried so many solutions with no result. One fateful day while browsing through the internet I saw a testimony of a client who got cured from herpes by Dr. Robinson buckler through herbal medicine so I decided to give a try. A try that changed our life for good. I contacted Dr. Robinson buckler and he sent some herbal medicine to us, which we took for 14 days. It was a great surprise when we went for a test and the test result came out negative., Dr. Robinson buckler brought joy into my family again. His result is 100% guaranteed. certainly the best online. YESS! SO.MUCH.YES. I love this, it’s exactly what i prayed for!.. it’s unbelievable! ....Thank you!! Very well!.. You contact him on his email. [Robinson.buckler@yahoo.com].....
