Rainy Day Canning

With all the rain today and not much room left in the freezer I decided to can and pickle some mushrooms. I simmered the shrooms for 5 minutes the processed for 45 minutes. The pickled I used balsamic vinaigrette out the bottle. I simmered them for 5 minutes then processed for 45 minutes also. They tasted great before I jarred them so after a few weeks in the jar they should be fantastic. Taking a break right now and eating a bite before filling the dehydrator with the broken bits and pieces of mushrooms.Attachment 184409Attachment 184410Attachment 184411

What ratio vinegar to water did you use and is this something you have done before?

None I used salad dressing. Its more of a marinated mushroom than a pickled. This is the first time I pressure canned the mushrooms. I have in the past just water bath canned them.

I woke this morning to my first batch of dried mushrooms and all jars sealed. I took the dried mushrooms and put them in an antique jar I had. Attachment 184532Attachment 184533
