Pickled Mushrooms

Pickled mushrooms are fantastic since they can be foraged on a walk in the woods and are easy to make. They require few ingredients and just a bit of patience.

Equipment

  • Canning Jar
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Pot

Ingredients

  • 50 gram Mushrooms Firm mushrooms are best
  • 150 gram Apple Cider Vinegar Can be substituted with white wine vinegar
  • 1 gram Fresh thyme Dried can also be used
  • 5 pcs. Peppercorns
  • 15 gram Lemon Juice Can be substituted with lime or orange juice
  • 21 gram Honey

Instructions

  • Start by ensuring your mushrooms are clean. I used mushrooms from a mix where they were already cleaned. If they weren't, they should be brushed clean.
  • I used small mushrooms; if you use larger ones, they should be cut into quarters.
  • Bring the vinegar to a boil with the honey. Once the honey has dissolved, add the thyme, peppercorns, and lemon juice.
  • Place the mushrooms in the brine and let them simmer for a few minutes (2-4 minutes depending on size).
  • Scald a preserving jar and pour the mushrooms and brine into the jar.
  • Let it cool, and they are ready to be eaten. They do get better if left to sit until the next day.
