How soon after picking them, do you need to eat Morel Mushrooms?!
I just found a bunch, and I have cleaned them and soaked them in salt water, and put them in the refrigerator!. I am upset because no one will be at home tonight to eat them with me!. Can I save them until tomorrow!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

thought I'd give you my freezing secret!! I clean and soak them, cut them in half, then dip them into beaten eggs, I then dip them in flour and fry them for 2 minutes on each side, remove and let cool!. Place them in freezer bag and in the dead of winter when you finish frying them they taste as if you just picked them

take my mushrooms!. Slice in half,and a little soaking in salty water to get rid of bugs, then I put them in a bowl and place in the microwave oven for about a minute till they reduce down and there is water in the bottom of the bowl!. Then I separate them on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer!. When they have frozen I place them in a vacuum sealer bag and when I use them in recipes I can easily separate them for the amount I need!."

"Hello, For the past 20 years we have harvested and preserved our Morels by putting in salt water for 20 minutes after they are sliced in half, then thourly rinse in collinder until most of water is out!. Then I take large frying pan with 1/4 lb of butter and fill pan with Morels and cook for 3 min at the maximum!. Remove mushrooms from heat and store in large pan until cooled!. Then we put three large spoonfuls in 1 qt freezer bags with slotted spoon to seperate from juice!. After you have seperated from juice, I then add equal amounts of juice to each bag, seal then lay them flat on cookie sheet and flash freeze until thourly frozen!. Then put frozen package in air tight box and store in freezer!. When ready for meal of Morels, I put entire frozen pack into frying pan!.( cut bag and put frozen block in pan and cover until they are thawed!. Cook until they start to pop and butter is almost gone then poor on steak!.!.!.Best method I have ever used!.!.!.!.Try it, it is the best way I have found!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, they will be fine!.
An alternative method is to now lay them out and allow them to dry!. They will be an excellent addition to pasta sauces of all kinds and reconstitute quite nicely when added!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
