Canning Mushrooms
This pressure canned mushrooms recipe follows NCHFP guidelines adapted from the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning. Using crimini mushrooms gives noticeably better flavor than white button mushrooms. Whole or sliced mushrooms are boiled briefly and packed into half-pint or pint jars for a versatile pantry ingredient ready to add to soups, sauces, and pasta dishes.
