Ingredients
3
quarts
morel mushrooms
Instructions
Wash your morels and let drain
Slice in half, or leave smaller mushrooms whole
Place on dehydrator racks
Dehydrate at 120°F for 8-10 hours until mushrooms are fully dry
Store in a jar or zip top bag
Notes
Any amount of mushrooms may be used for drying
Morels are full of water and they will shrink way down in size when dried
Make certain mushrooms are fully dry
Drying time will vary depending on the size of your mushrooms, the amount of mushrooms being dried and your humidity and temperature
Store dried mushrooms in an airtight container. The mushrooms should be good for several years as long as there is no moisture.
Dried mushrooms can also be stored in the freezer
To Use:
Soak morels in hot water for 5-10 minutes until softened
The soaking water can be discarded or added to soups or braising dishes
Chop the morels or use whole in any recipes calling for mushrooms
