Years ago when our children were young we gathered with friends on Saturday and do lunch and enjoy one another. One of the highlights of those Saturdays was when a friend brought jar of his mother’s homemade sun dried tomatoes on a nice loaf of Italian bread. My children loved them. So over the years we tried to find the same wonderful flavor. I shop at Mazzaro’s in St Petersburg. These came as close as I have ever found. The jar I got Mazzaro’s caused me to get one for our daughter in NY. The second one I ordered is for my son in Texas. I am sure he will enjoy them as much as my daughter and I did.
