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!
