Home Canned Mushrooms Recipe
This Home Canned Mushrooms recipe preserves fresh mushrooms by blanching in vinegar water and packing them in jars with a hot saltwater brine. The mushrooms are cooked briefly in boiling vinegar water to reduce spoilage, then sealed in sterilized jars with the brine. The jars are heated in a water bath to complete the canning process, ensuring safe storage and longer shelf life.
Ingredients
To Blanch Mushrooms
- 3.3 pounds mushrooms fresh

Instructions
- Wash your mushrooms to get rid of impurities.

- Keep the canning pot over a stove and place jars next to each other into the pot.
- Cover jars in your canning pot with water and close the pot with the lid. Place thermometr in as per canner instructions.
- Bring the temperature to 210° Fahrenheit/ 100° Celsius. This can take 30 minutes.
- Keep the heat at 210° Fahrenheit/ 100° Celsius for another 30 minutes.
- Take out jars when done and place on a clena kitchen towel to cool.
- Once cooled store on a shelf in a cool and dry place.
