The Morels Are Coming!

The morels are almost here! Last year, about this time, I was introduced to these delicious wonders of the natural world. They only come out for a few weeks at the beginning of April. We found a nice area to harvest them at Cedarmore Camp and Conference Center (where I also work and live). Ever since then, I have been looking forward with great anticipation to harvesting them this year as well.

After you pick these, you then clean them really good. You can cook them anyway that you want. I like to cook them in a skillet with some garlic and butter. They are very distinct tasting and have almost a "meaty" texture. If you like mushrooms, then you will certainly like these.
