How do you do that when you only have 1 jar containing 8 pieces

Best I go and check the recipe again Fred.

You will of course need 24 sundried tomatoes if topping each of the 12 slices of baguette with 2 of the tomatoes.

I would assume that a jar of sundried tomatoes would be based on weight as opposed to the number it contained anyway (?), and not sure you would necessary be able to know how many are in a jar when they are compressed together, so being specific about a jar of 8 tomatoes seems misleading anyway even without the number being incorrect.

8 is about correct I use a lot of Sundried Tomatoes so buy a lot of jars
