Ingredients

• 1  lb mushroom, large ones should be cut into quarters
• 1  medium  white onions or 1  medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 1⁄4 cup white wine vinegar

1. In a pan, place mushrooms in 3-4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes or until tender when pierced by a fork. Scoop them out of the water and layer them alternately with the onions in a large jar.
