Canned mushrooms with cognac

Filed Under: Seasonal Winter, Vegetables Tagged With: Mushrooms

canned mushrooms with cognac 001

Home-canned mushrooms are delicious. Tinned mushrooms from the store are metallic tasting and rubbery-textured in comparison.

But home-canned are really a gourmet-level product to have on hand, and with cognac in the jar: delicious.

Serving suggestions: use in creamed mushroom sauces for crêpes, etc.

This procedure completely follows the tested USDA pressure-canning process for home-canning plain mushrooms, and just adds a bit of cognac to the canning liquid for flavouring.

The downside is, they are less flexible when you go to use them. The cognac taste doesn’t suit everything!
