Hi all, I haven't been able to find much by googling in the way of
pickling mushrooms for using in Martinis.

I'm looking for recipes that does not use oil.
(These are what I believe are called marinated mushrooms)

Just basically looking for a recipe that uses White Vinegar/water/bay
leaf/onion/perhaps peppercorns/salt/and maybe hot peppers/garlic also.
Thanks! Mark

A recipe from my uncle many years ago, these are quick, easy, and
delicious. They also make a nice addition to salads.

Pickled Martini Mushrooms

2½ pounds button mushrooms
2 whole garlic cloves
2 small hot pepper pods
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup dry vermouth
1 teaspoon pickling spice
1 small bay leaf
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
¼ teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Wash and drain mushrooms. Skewer garlic cloves on a toothpick for easy
removal. Combine all ingredients in pot. Bring to boil. Simmer 10
minutes. Remove garlic cloves. Pack into sterilized jars. Store in
refrigerator, or may be processed in boiling water bath.

Hi Wayne, Thanks for the recipe, sounds like a good one.

I imagine if one would desire "Hot' Martini Shrooms, just add one
slitted Habenero, or a couple slitted Jalapenos per jar to wake things
up! Mark

Half a jalapenos in a martini is a Cajuntini. As per New Orleans
Cookery restaurant.They also stuff some peppers into the gin bottle.

If you have a Trader Joes near you, they have pickled mushrooms with the
ingredients you want and no oil.

Hi, Hmmm, Never heard of Trader Joes?
Perhaps I'll do a web-search, and see what I come up with?

The Pickled Mushrooms for Martinis, that I have been buying are
absolutely killer! They come in regular, garlic, and various "heat"
ranges.

They are from Shrooms Kitchen at River Valley Ranch in Burlington,
Wisconsin.
Web address I just found is:

If I could make them like this, I'd be a very happy man! Mark
