Using Sun Dried Tomatoes

I’ve had a jar of sundried tomatoes sitting in my kitchen cupboard for about half a year now, and today was the first time I used them. I wanted to make some little mini pizzas and I was out of tomato paste. It occurred to me that there should be some way to make a reasonable substitute out of the dried tomatoes. The end result was a bit watery, but not too bad. I often run out of tomato paste and tomato sauce, so I started to wonder if perhaps there was an official recipe that would tell me how to make these two food items out of dried tomatoes. This site suggests grinding up the ground tomatoes to make a tomato powder, and then creating a tomato paste or sauce by adding water to the tomato powder. I’m going to give it a try.
