Homemade Tomato Butter

A delicious homemade tomato butter. Flavorful, fresh, and made with whole food ingredients! 

In the winter, I always miss good tomatoes. Does anyone else agree with that? Last winter, I was  browsing Trader Joe’s and I discovered First Fields strained tomatoes-they had a beautiful color and bottle too;) The color caught my eye and I knew I had to buy it. That night,  I used them for my usual chicken curry and after that I never used anything else! They have a depth of flavor which adds the perfect amount of sweetness and tartness to any dish. Other than the fact that they are really good quality, they are produced by a local NJ family as well! And you guys know that I love supporting local businesses!

While recipe testing for different condiments, I needed to create something that had dual purposes. I like to create things that can be used in various ways. And this tomato butter does just that.

You can use the Tomato Butter for garlic bread, in a pasta sauce, as a base of chicken or seafood, on top of eggs, or even in a sandwich. This butter is a simple, yet flavorful, condiment that can be used for absolutely everything. Using First Field strained tomatoes makes such a difference because they literally taste like they have just been picked from your backyard.
