    This was really terrific, TRUE!
    I did use roasted peppers in a jar too!
    HOWEVER, drained, ran under water and in paper towel I did drain,
    While listening to the weather outside which was RAIN!
    Don't think it distracted from taste to me!
    Thank you! Glad this recipe I did see!
