Dried Candy Caps- Wild USA

Lactarius rubidus are e
xcellent in desserts such as cookies, breads, waffles, pancakes, custards and ice cream. It also pares well with pork as a relish or chutney in savory dishes. Candy caps should be served independently from other mushrooms on a same dish due to its uniqueness flavor, which is best highlighted. One exception to this opinion seems to be with black morels that the rich and sweet seem to balance out. The scent and flavor when dried are of maple syrup.
