Canadian Antipasto from Fresh Tomatoes

Sauce

  1. Wash tomatoes and remove stems. Puree the tomatoes and pass through a sieve to separate seeds and chunks of skin.

  2. Add the tomatoes to a large saucepan and bring to a slow boil to reduce them for about 45 minutes.

  3. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and stir well. Return to a slow boil and cook another 10 minutes.

    Prepare Antipasto

  1. Drain all the canned and jarred vegetables in separate bowls and reserve their juices.

  2. Dice all the canned and jarred ingredients

    Blanch Veggies

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously.

  2. Blanch the cauliflower for about 2 minutes; it should still be crisp.

  3. With a skimmer, transfer the florets to a tray to cool quickly.

  4. 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.

    Combine

  1. Add the blanched veggies to the sauce.

  2. Add the prepared canned & jarred ingredients and toss well.

  3. Add garlic, lemon juice, War Chest Sure Sauce, and horseradish.

  4. Salt to taste. (Optional hot sauce and/or white sugar to taste)

  5. Add tuna, shrimp, and anchovies, stir in gently.

  6. Optional, add some of the reserved liquid from the canned and jarred veggies until desired texture.

    Can

  1. In sterilized canning jars, place 1 teaspoon tarragon vinegar (this will guarantee freshness). Load the mixture into the jar, using a wide-mouthed funnel to avoid a mess.

  2. Process in hot water bath for 15 minutes.
