Laurel's Marinated Mushrooms (Easy Canning)
I've been making these for more than 20 years. I usually give them in holiday gift baskets, and if I don't, then I'm in trouble! Not only are they delicious tasting, they are very pretty, too! Only one thing about this recipe is that you have to find tiny mushrooms, 1-1/4 inch or less across, and that might not be easy. Our Fred Meyer store sells them, and when I'm ready to can them, I just pick up the whole case out of the produce section and plop it in my cart! This recipe came from my county exchange master canner, 1989.
