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.

These Italian carrot antipasti are delicious but you need to plan ahead, as they have to marinate 1 day in the fridge. Otherwise they are quick and easy and very garlicky!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young carrots. Choose carrots that are firm and brightly colored, with no blemishes or bruises.
- To make the marinade, use a combination of olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices. You can use any type of vinegar you like, but white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar are good choices. For herbs, try rosemary, thyme, or oregano. And for spices, try garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Be sure to let the carrots marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the carrots and make them extra delicious.
- When you're ready to serve the carrots, you can either eat them as is, or you can roast them in the oven. To roast the carrots, toss them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
Conclusion:
Marinated carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They're perfect for picnics, potlucks, or holiday gatherings. And they're also a great way to add some extra flavor and nutrition to your meals.
