This is , without a doubt, something you will become addicted to. To give it to friends is nice but will cause regrets if you don't have more stored away somewhere...Mo, Seattle, Wa

worth the effort to prepare. Recipe is great as is. I did not jar the antipasto so I added the tuna and anchovies to the entire mixture. Try on Triscuits or crostini.




great for the holidays

I've tried lots of pickling recipes and I thought this was great. I didn't use the tuna and we eat everything over the holidays so we don't can it. It is a nice appetizer. I used real pearl onions and non-marinated artichokes because it is fresher in my opinion.




Good with a few changes to my taste

I really liked the sauce for this, but made some modifications to my own taste in the ingredients. I left out the anchovies and capers. I also used diced sweet onions for the onions and crimini mushrooms intead of button mushrooms. I diced things small enough so that to serve it, I spread soft cream cheese on round whole wheat crackers and topped it with the antipasto. Also, I did not have tarragon vinegar, so I added fresh taragon and white wine vinigar to the sauce. I also made mine a little spicier with extra cayenne because my family likes things a little spicy. I now make it as Christmas gifts.




easy gift to give

I made jars of this for Christmas gifts without the fish and everyone loved it! I had to guesstimate the ingredients as the product that I found in the stores were not the same size.
