I couldn't find the tiny mushrooms so I used the regular button mushrooms from the grocery store. One pound of mushrooms made one pint jar. I made one batch of sliced mushrooms and the other whole mushrooms. I think I prefer the whole ones for ease of use. The marinade tasted delicious and I have high hopes these are going to be awesome in six weeks. Very easy recipe. The hard part is waiting until they are going to be ready. Thanks!

I was thrilled to find a new canning recipe especially for something really different from the usual canned tomato products or jam/jelly. This is a good recipe that makes a very good product. I did several jars of sliced mushrooms as well as small whole mushrooms and both turned out well. Canned in small jelly jars make the size just right to put over a couple of salads. In pints, they will make a nice hostess or holiday gift. I'm very pleased that I came across this recipe and recommend it to others.

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
