I don't care for mushrooms and I don't grow them, but I have a girl friend that just loves them and she likes pickled mushrooms. She found this recipe and I thought I'd share it here:
Pickled Mushrooms
1/2 cups Lemon juice
1 quart Water
6 cups Mushrooms, small, button
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cups Vinegar, white distilled
1/2 teaspoon Oregano, dried
1/2 teaspoon Basil, dried
2 Bay leaves, broken in half
2 Garlic, cloves
1 1/2 cup Oil, olive
1. Combine lemon juice and water in a large saucepan. Add mushrooms and salt and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Drain and pour vinegar over.
2. Cover and let stand 10-12 hours.
3. Drain mushrooms and reserve vinegar. Place mushrooms in sterilized half-pint jars. Divide herbs into 4 portions and add to jars. Cover with olive oil.
4. Process in boiling water bath 20 minutes.
Vinegar can be used one more time pickling mushrooms or use in salad dressings or cooking.
Makes 2 pints
