ANTIPASTO



Antipasto image

This is a very old recipe and I have made it for years with no issues. But if you are in doubt, use a pressure canner. If there's enough acid added I don't think you need to pressure can but some newbies come along and "think" they are experts. :) This has to be one of the best antipasto recipes ever! The original recipe came from one of those cookbooks where everyone submits a recipe but it has been modified. The only reason for this is when my Dad and Sister were making it they weren't sure if you were supposed to drain the olives and pickled onions, ...they didn't and it came out great! The longer you can let it sit the better it taste. It is quite a costly recipe to make so what I do is buy the "sale" items throughout the year and make it up a bit before Christmas, that's why I'm posting it now---watch for sales :)

Time 1h30m

Yield 28 Pints

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 (14 ounce) cans olives, ripe, sliced
3 (14 ounce) cans green olives, sliced
4 heads cauliflower florets, small
3 (12 ounce) jars pickled onions
3/4 cup olive oil
6 (10 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms
4 green peppers, chopped
5 (14 ounce) cans green beans, chopped
8 cups ketchup, Heinz (The large can at Costco is just the right size)
4 -5 shrimp, rings or 5 (6 ounce) cans shrimp
6 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water (I buy one big tuna can at Costco)
2 quarts dill pickles, chopped
3/4 cup white vinegar (see NOTE!!)

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in large pot. Boil 5 minutes.
  • Add next 4 ingredients, boil 10 minutes.
  • Add balance of ingredients. Try not to break up shrimp and tuna too much. Bring to just boiling.
  • Process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes.
  • Note: *Drain everything except olives and pickled onion juice. Biffy and Frank's flub (taste great.) Omit vinegar.
  • Optional - small amount of brown sugar, HP sauce, chopped garlic, hot pepper sauce (dried or fresh) WE NEVER USE THESE.
  • Something sure has changed with Recipe Zaar! When trying to put the ingredients in it was a big pain in the butt for the sizes. I've converted the grams to ounces but I didn't have everything in my cupboard to actually look at so I guessed. But most cans come pretty standard, and the "Frozen Shrimp" is a large bag -- it wouldn't let me put just "large.".

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cauliflower, cut into bite sized florets
4 carrots, peeled and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
4 inner celery ribs, cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 pound small fresh button mushrooms
1 jar (7 1/2 ounces) pepperoncini (pickled green peppers)
1 (3-ounce) can pitted black olives, drained
1 (5-ounce) jar pimiento stuffed Spanish olives, drained
1 (12-ounce) jar baby kosher dill pickles, drained and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 (7 1/2-ounce) jar pickled onions
1 (6 1/2-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (7-ounce) can imported olive oil packed tuna, drained
1 (2 ounce) tin anchovies with capers, drained
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
3/4 cup canned tomato sauce
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar, plus more for jars
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Cayenne pepper
Sea salt, preferably gray salt

Steps:

  • Place all of the prepared and drained vegetables in separate bowls and reserve their juices.
  • In a large saucepan, combine ketchup, Worcestershire, horseradish, tomato sauce, tarragon vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, lemon juice, and cayenne. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season, to taste, with salt.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Blanch the cauliflower for about 2 minutes; it should still be crisp. With a skimmer, transfer the florets to a tray to cool quickly. Repeat with the carrots and then with the celery, cooking them just long enough to remove their raw taste; they will be cooked more later. Add the white wine vinegar to the water and blanch the mushrooms for 1 minute (the vinegar will keep the mushrooms white). Drain and spread the mushrooms on a tray to cool quickly.
  • Add the cauliflower, carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the sauce. Add the juices from the canned and jarred vegetables. Add the pepperoncini, olives, pickles, onions, and artichoke hearts and toss well.
  • In sterilized canning jars, place 1 teaspoon tarragon vinegar (this will guarantee freshness). Load the sauced vegetables into the jar, using a wide-mouthed funnel to avoid a mess.
  • In one of the large pans that you have used, add olive oil, tuna, and anchovies and mix well. Top each jar with some of the tuna mixture. Cover and refrigerate, or allow to cool on the counter before serving. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
