PepperBuds,
I sent these mushrooms with Russ & Miss Dewi to the open fields '02 &
*nobody* asked for the recipe, big sigh.....
"Moms Marinated Mushrooms"
Prior to stating this recipe you need "heated" oil and if you want, vinegar
that's been "spiced up" too. I keep jars of each in my house at all times to
keep my cooking warmed up on these long cold nights in the Northeast.
Heated oil & vinegar recipes:
Gather the following:
Quart & pint size Ball or Mason canning jars with caps
Oil of your choice (I use Virgin Olive Oil)
Vinegar of your choice (I use Red Wine Vinegar)
5 Really hot peppers (I use Habs)
1. Cut 3 peppers in half and put them in quart jar for oil/slice other two
and put in pint jar for vinegar.
2. Heat 2 cups oil to 300 degrees F if you have a cooking thermometer or
watch oil as it heats and take off heat the instant you see smoke.
3. Pour over halved peppers SLOWLY!!! The oil will tend to boil as it fry's
peppers in jar. Cap immediately.
4. Heat 1/2 cup vinegar almost to boil/pour over sliced Habs.
Wait until vinegar cools and cap jar.
5. Wait one week for Habs to impart their flavor & heat to liquids.
Mushroom recipe:
Gather the following
1 quart size wide mouth canning jar with new cap
1 16 oz. pkg. mushrooms of your choice (I prefer the small white buttons
that are in every grocery store)
2 envelopes of Good Seasons Zesty Italian dressing
Good Seasons cruet
1. Mix Good Seasons dressing per instructions on box/you will need a double
batch for recipe.
3. Clean mushrooms & fill jar fully by gently pushing mushrooms into air
spaces that form between them.
4. Shake marinade and pour slowly over mushrooms. Cap jar well and invert
jar then wait about 3 hours.
5. Open jar and stuff in more mushrooms. Invert again. Wait 12 hours and
stuff any remaining mushrooms into jar.
Now comes the tough part/wait 48 hours for "spiced" marinade to impart it's
heat and flavors to mushrooms.
ENJOY!!!!!
Refrigerate after last 48 hours if not eating within a few days.
Finally an on topic post....PHEW!
