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.
I made the most amazling Chantrell Vodka this year, serve in a martini or over ice.
The next batch of mushroom vodka’s and other spirits are on their way.
Easy, fun, and very tasty
Recipes don’t get easier than this. I’ll try it.
