How to Preserve Morels

[draggin]

Anyone have any tips on how to preserve morels, I usually don't have the need to but was just wondering if anyone had any info on freezing, drying, etc...

simple. after rinsing good, to get bugs out, either take a needle and thread and string them up to dry(about 3days) or place them on a screen with a frame. I hang them in the garage not in the hot sun. then place them in plastic bowls and toss them in the freezer. to regenerate, soak em in water for an hour or so.
Have not found any good way to cook and freeze them. Drying is best.

I agree,drying is the best way to go!

Thanks! Do you slice them in half (the long way) before drying?

I leave them whole. as they dry out, if any bugs are still inside, they leave or get frozen to death.
