Catsup

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Collect mushrooms on a dry day. Discard stalk-ends and any worm-eaten or decayed parts.

  2. Slice the mushrooms and place them in a clean, dry container.

  3. Sprinkle a smaller amount of coarse sea salt than usual over the mushrooms.

  4. Mix well and let the mushrooms sit to draw out their juice.

  5. Store the mixture in clean bottles for preservation.
