Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Brine: In a large pot, combine lemon juice and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Add Mushrooms: Once the liquid is boiling, add the small mushrooms to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and let the mushrooms simmer for about 5 minutes until they become slightly tender.
-
Drain Liquid: After simmering, drain off the liquid from the pot, ensuring that the mushrooms are well-drained.
-
Prepare Jars: While the mushrooms are draining, prepare clean hot jars for packing. Place the dried oregano, fresh oregano, dried basil, fresh basil, bay leaves, and garlic cloves evenly into the jars.
-
Pack Mushrooms: Once the jars are prepared, pack the drained mushrooms into the jars, distributing them evenly among the jars.
-
Prepare Vinegar Mixture: In a separate pot, bring the red wine vinegar and white wine vinegar to a boil.
-
Pour Vinegar Over Mushrooms: Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the mushrooms in the jars, ensuring that there is a 1/2 inch headspace left in each jar.
-
Seal Jars: Once the jars are filled with mushrooms and vinegar, seal them tightly with lids.
-
Process Jars: To ensure proper preservation, process the sealed jars in a boiling water bath. If you’re at altitudes up to 1000 feet, process the jars for 20 minutes.
-
Cool and Store: After processing, remove the jars from the water bath and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, store the Italian Pickled Mushrooms in a cool, dark place for optimal flavor.
