Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to pickle saffron milk mushrooms in a cold way for the winter? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Saffron milk caps are harvested at the end of September. It is better to use small mushrooms; they contain many useful substances, which are almost completely preserved when pickled. It is believed that large mushrooms accumulate many harmful substances. Mushrooms should be used fresh, only picked. Use coarse, rock salt, non-iodized, special for pickling.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the mushrooms, sort them, remove debris, wormy and spoiled mushrooms. Ryzhiki, unlike other mushrooms, do not require soaking. But it’s still better to keep them in salted water for a couple of hours. This will get rid of the slight bitterness of the mushrooms and the remaining worms in the caps. Place the mushrooms in a colander and let the water drain completely.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the garlic cloves and cut into large slices. The container for pickling mushrooms should be rinsed well, preferably with a soda solution, to avoid fermentation of the brine. It is better to use a pan made of non-oxidizing material. Place a layer of salt on the bottom of the pan. Place prepared mushrooms on top.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place a few well-washed and dried blackcurrant leaves, bay leaves, allspice peas and cloves of garlic on the mushrooms. Sprinkle everything generously with salt again. Place a plate on top that is smaller in diameter than the pan in which the mushrooms will be salted. Place the pressure on a plate. After some time, the mushrooms will release juice, and the volume of brine will increase significantly. You can use another pan of water or a jar as a load.

5. STEP 5

   

   Leave the mushrooms to salt for 15 days in a cool place. Then place the mushrooms in pre-prepared sterilized jars and fill them with the brine left over from salting the mushrooms in the pan. Cover the jars with lids and store them in the pantry.
