"Let sit for several days to blend flavors better. Try using Sun Dried tomatoes instead of the red peppers. Serve with baguette slices, tomatoes, on top of a salad, as part of a cheese tray. Time does not include refrigeration time."

  1. Saw this recipe and decided to try it even though the were only two reviews (although both FIVE stars) and I am so GLAD I DID... it is AWESOME!!! This is a KEEPER!!! AMAZING FLAVOR and AROMA!!! SUPER easy! At first I thought 2 TBSP fresh Rosemary sounded like a lot but it did not overpower the recipe as I thought it might. I made this to give as gifts for a change of pace over all the usual sweets given this time of year. It has a GREAT presentation in the jar and looks quite pretty and festive. We tried it on some crackers and zapped it in the micro for 20-30 seconds to melt and its like a mini pizza. It would be VERY GOOD on sliced bagette bread under the broiler...add some bacon bits or something and you have a WONDERFUL appetizer that I don't think will disappoint your friends and family. Will be making some more VERY SOON as I only made 2 batches and decided I need to make more for gifts to share. If your thinking about this recipe DON'T HESITATE. I am sure you won't be sorry you did. ENJOY!!!

  2. Oh boy this is good. I made it with sundried tomatoes and can't wait to try with roasted peppers. I like the idea of having a jar full in the fridge for many uses. I love it just plain have tried it on salad. Also on toasted baguette slices. With the baguette I used some of the oil and brushed on the slices under the broiler for a few minutes then topped with the cheese and under the broiler again until the cheese was melted. Very good!! I think next time I make this I will double the oil so I have lots for the baguette. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

  3. Wow this was wonderful!! I used a homemade Italian seasoning off the zaar but can't remember which one. I also used recipe #14681 and some green peppers that I had roasted and froze from the end of garden last year. (Drained as best I could) I also made my cubes pretty small. Thanks for sharing..it's a keeper!

<p>I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and was born in Esterhazy Saskatchewan. I am in the Food &amp; Beverage industry and have been for over 22 years. I love to cook, but I would not call myself a "Chef". While I'm not good at creating recipes, I can take a recipe and tweak it or improve on it. I would have to say that I'm a self taught cook as my Mother never had time to really teach me. I would just watch her and figured it out on my own. I have collected 1000's of recipes (lots from here on Zaar) from cookbooks, clippings, pamphlets, you name it. <br />I like to read (favorite author is Jackie Collins), watch movies, trying to figure out how computers work and like to surf the net. Although I can stay in the background for months and not say anything, I'm always here on Zaar. It's a great site to be involved with. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8352/saladtl5.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/7688/salad8dw5ck0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3374/rolls2is3ue8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2480/fork2tp6cl6.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/1376/lobster6cz0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8659/crabburger1yu0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/308/crab1lh8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/604/app398896002838932ml0k.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/8537/172478p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8280/149980p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/1571/dessert18li2bz8da5ds4.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/26/chocolates2qi2.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2734/foodsoy7.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/9931/sweets1il3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8642/drinks1.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/7087/drinks2ji0zk3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/9346/1858887vvr6dlsowm.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3972/8ebmqtttm2.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://easyhitcounters.com/stats.php?site=carmen782" target="_top"><img src="http://beta.easyhitcounters.com/counter/index.php?u=carmen782&amp;s=apple" border="0" alt="Free Web Site Counter" hspace="4" vspace="2" align="middle" /></a></p>
