Sun-Dried Tomato Butter

Try this amazing Sun-Dried Tomato Butter as an accent to your everyday foods.  This will be a very easy recipe and oh so worth the time it takes to make it.  This butter can be added to just about anything such as: veggies, fish, beef, chicken, or pork, Baked potatoes, grilled corn or sandwiches are heavenly – yum! I haven’t met anyone that has made this recipe and not raved about it.  Enjoy!
