I just made chanterelle vodka, it was sooooo easy.
I am watching it and it is already turning a nice peach color. When it is done infusing, I am going to strain it through a coffee filter, and maybe find another recipe for the alcohol doused chanterelles.
Chanterelle Vodka - once the mushrooms have sunk to the bottom, the vodka is ready to be served.
Yesterday I went to the liqour store and picked up 1.5 gallons of the plainest vodka I could find.
The jug I used is 1 gallon, and I found it in the woods when Tradd and I were morel hunting. I knew it was going to come to a good use 
Recipe
– 1 gallon vodka
– enough fresh chanterelles that will fill up a quarter of your 1 gallon jug
– 1 gallon jug
Directions
– put the chanterelles into the jug
– pour the vodka over them
– close up the bottle, and let sit
– ready for drinking when all the chanterelles have sunk to the bottom of the jug
Here is another recipe that I am going to make later with the left over vodka, when Tradd bring me some caraway seeds from the store.
Recipe: Spiced Mushrooms in Alcohol
– 1 cup chanterelles
– 1 tsp caraway seeds
– 1 lemon
– 1 red chili
– 1.5 cups vodka
Combine all ingredients into a clean jar, pour vodka over them, when mushrooms stop floating, it is ready to serve. Chill before serving.
