Dried Morel Mushrooms

Time: 4 hrs 20 mins

Ingredients

• morel, freshly picked
• 1 gallon water, cold

• 3 Slice at least one side of the mushrooms.
• 4 Lie mushrooms on a towel.
• 5 Direct the air flow of a small fan onto the mushrooms and let dry up to 24 hours.
• 6 The mushrooms will reduce in size drastically. When they are dry, bag them in a ziplock bag and throw them in the freezer to use later.
• 7 Reconstituting Mushrooms:.
• 8 Soak mushrooms in broth, wine, or water for up to 5 minutes. They will spring back to the size they were when they were picked.
