"Ahh summer tomatoes and caramelized onions seasoned with garlic, rosemary and thyme. All packed into jars for gift giving to enjoy the summer’s bounty throughout the year. Enjoy on brie cream cheese with crackers or crusty bread. Toss into pasta or a grain for a quick easy salad. Top a sandwich for a healthy choice to mayonnaise."
