Too many tomatoes from the garden. So I made some tomato butter to use instead of mayo. I regret not putting more of it on. But I'll use the leftover for some pasta dish.

Cost per person $2.85

Whoa, never heard of tomato butter before. Sounds intriguing.

I rarely keep butter, but maybe I could try it with ghee, or somesuch..

    I used this recipe but reduced the amount by half. I might be tempted to add a pinch of MSG in the future.

    There are other versions where you cook the tomatoes down in a pot to evaporate enough juice to almost get a paste and work from there.

    Some even skin ghd tomatoes.

    You are going to want to make sure your ghee to be between liquid and solid. So refrigerate accordingly.

    I start to panic if I don't have at least one pound of butter in the house at all times. Some kind of trauma response from childhood?

    Thanks. I stashed the recipe. 👍

    No judgement intended, but sounds pretty normal for The South, frankly. Similar with lard, I'd guess.
