The honey balances the tart acidity of the tomatoes, but it’s not necessary to add it. Make sure you add chili powder and salt to balance the sweetness. This is also delicious spread onto hot crusty bread or used in sandwiches (like Breakfast Bagel Sliders with Sundried Tomato Butter)

1 stick butter, softened
5 or 6 sundried tomatoes (packed in oil)
1 clove garlic, minced
drizzle of honey
1 tsp rosemary, chopped finely
1/2 tsp chili powder
dash of salt

1. In a small blender, whirl the tomatoes, garlic, honey, rosemary, chili powder, salt until well blended and smooth. Mix into the softened butter.
2. Lay a piece of wax paper and spread the butter into a log shape. (see picture). Wrap it up into a cylinder and refrigerate at least 30 min. Freeze what you don’t use.
