(snipped recipe)
Your caponata recipe is fairly close to mine but I use only fresh
tomatoes and never, ever, do I cook with raisins. I just do not like the
taste of them cooked. I normally freeze the caponata in flat plastic
quart containers and, when frozen, remove them and vac bag them for
longer storage. We eat it both cold and hot, as a side dish, as a dip, etc.
Can't eat much of anything made with cornmeal, my blood glucose goes
straight up for about four hours after such a meal. I do love anything
made with cornmeal though.


I froze mine in pint jars. Actually, I never made the polenta altho it sounds nice - I have to avoid
the Carbs too. I like to use fresh tomatoes also and I throw in a nugget of frozen basil too.
People who don't like raisins are probably from mars tho, which way to your antennae wobble? (g)

I like raisins, just not cooked. I can eat 15 grapes at one sitting on
my diabetic diet so I eat 15 a day when I can get good ones. I also like
dried prunes, excuse me dried plums is what all the containers now say.
Must be trying to get away from the connection to old people and
constipation. We've always eaten prunes as a dessert or a snack and I
even like them when they're stewed. I'm old but don't need the prunes
for anything except food. VBG
