Our close-knit group of friends enjoy regular get-togethers… of course now it’s within socially distancing guidelines. We gather outside, and fortunately, we all have large outdoor spaces where we can remain close enough to converse, but still 6 feet away. So for a recent gathering, I wanted to make a quick, easy spread to enjoy on some home made sourdough crackers. I had half a jar of sun dried tomatoes in the fridge that I really needed to use, so looking at a few recipes online, I combined elements of a few, and added a few twists, like my favorite goat cheese, to come up with this recipe that everyone loved. This is adapted from Ina Garten’s sun-dried tomato dip recipe.
