Money Savers Sun- dried tomatoes
are least expensive when purchased dry instead of packed in oil. Keep
them tightly sealed in a container with an airtight lid to keep them
fresh for up to 12 months. |
Serving Variation
For a special dinner, add 1 pound cooked peeled shrimp to
the saucepan in step 3. |
