Its harvest time and I made this Bruschetta from the paste tomatoes, garlic and basil from our garden. It was delicious on a piece of olive oil infused toast, what could be tastier!

    You can make the bread ahead of time and store it in an airtight container. Cool the bread completely before you store it.

    You can let everyone top their toast with the tomato mixture. Don't top the toast too soon before eating, it will get soggy.
