ANTIPASTO
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 :)

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.".

The colorful vegetables and the tart dressing make this a lively addition to a holiday table. Serve it as a side dish or condiment-it's great either way. Refrigerate for three hours before serving to give the flavors time to blend. -Barbara McCalley, Allison Park, Pennsylvania

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your antipasto. Opt for ripe, seasonal produce and good quality cured meats and cheeses.
- Make your own marinades and dressings. This will give you more control over the flavor of your antipasto and allow you to customize it to your liking. Store-bought marinades and dressings often contain preservatives and additives that can alter the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the platter. You want each item on your antipasto platter to have room to breathe. Overcrowding will make the platter look messy and will make it difficult for your guests to enjoy the different foods.
- Use a variety of colors and textures. This will make your antipasto platter more visually appealing. Include a mix of brightly colored vegetables, cured meats, cheeses, and olives. You can also add some fresh herbs or flowers for a touch of elegance.
- Serve your antipasto platter at room temperature. This will allow the flavors of the different foods to meld together and create a more harmonious dish.
Conclusion:
An antipasto platter is a delicious and easy way to start a meal or to serve as a snack. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a stunning and flavorful platter that your guests will love. So next time you're entertaining, be sure to give this classic Italian dish a try.
