Thanks

To make it or use it?

Easy way!, rehydrate 100g sun-dried toms (just enough boiling water to cover, cover pot/bowl/jug with clingfilm), process 100g pine nuts + 1 clove(only) garlic to paste, drain toms saving the water for adjusting consistency, add toms to paste + big bunch basil, blitz!!! til it looks right adjusting thickness with soaking water(not all of it!!) adjust seasoning to taste, for large amounts to store, pasteurise in jars in water bath with lids loosened, temp needs to exceed 72c for 5mins or so, measure center of jar not the water!!,
I only say that because of a muppet I worked with who assured me that the roast beef was well done cos it was over 95c on the probe, thinking it was ruined I cut through to see how bad it was..... hmmm coldand raw in the middle just about browned outside, the muppet had put the probe in the hot fat in the roasting tray!!!!
