About

A must at the smorgasbord table, marinated mushrooms also make a tasty snack that you will want to keep going back for. The Balts are very fond of them, and they make useful preserves for eating during the long winter months. Every family has a recipe with its own secret ingredient, but there is no secret to this one - it's juniper berries!
