1 lb mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
2 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
3 peppercorns
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup red wine vinegar
2/3 cup water
Trim the stalk of the mushrooms so that they are flat with the caps. (Save stems for mushroom caviar.) Put everything except the mushrooms in a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the mushrooms and lower the heat. Simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes-- the mushrooms sink to the bottom. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Put mushroom into jars and cover with liquid. Top off the jar with a little oil, if you like. I don't process the jars, so they go in the fridge. Wait at least a week or two before eating, if you can. Keeps forever, but doesn't last long. : )
