Gifts From the Kitchen - Holiday Tapenade

The other day I featured a wonderful Gift From the Kitchen: Pound Cake with Caramel Sauce and today its time to embrace my savoury side!

I love olives and one of my favourite condiments is tapenade. However, I'm very particular about texture and flavour and because of that never purchase tapenade because it's so easy to make. Better still, it makes a lovely and elegant hostess gift and it can also be used in a variety of different ways - two of which I will be sharing later in the week.

Please enjoy my easy to follow step by step video!
