I'm crazy about the Barilla sun-dried tomato pesto. However, the local store where I was buying it has dropped it. Can I get a similar effect by putting in a blender or food processor the sun-dried tomatoes that come in oil in a jar?
Note, I have not found another dairy-free brand of sun-dried tomato pesto. (I'm allergic to dairy.) The Barilla version seems to be the only one. (I am in the U.S.)
I see that there is a close vote. Feedback would be helpful so I can recast the question or avoid asking off-topic in future.

Yes, you can use chopped up sun dried tomatoes, either in oil or dry stored.
For the dry sun-dried tomatoes, you should re-hydrated them a little bit in warm water before mixing them up.
As always, you will need to experiment with the ingredient ratios to get the flavour you like best.
