Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 28 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to salt honey mushrooms in jars for the winter? Prepare everything you need. It is better to take fresh leaves and dill, but even when dried they do not lose their aroma at all. If you don’t like any spices, you can discard them or replace them with others. My family doesn't really like allspice, so I usually use Szechuan pepper.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut off the roots of honey mushrooms, wash them well and let the water drain completely. I soak honey mushrooms in cold, salty water for 2-3 hours, but this is not necessary. Be especially careful that no soil is left behind, because it is with it that you can introduce the disease botulism, which can be fatal. And if you are still not sure about mushrooms, it is better to refuse, not a single mushroom is worth a human life.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the mushrooms in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Salt the water (add 1 tablespoon of salt per 1 liter of water) and cook for 30 minutes. Then drain in a colander and rinse with cold water, allowing the water to drain completely.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place everything for the marinade in a thick-bottomed saucepan and add water. Use coarse salt, as fine salt is easy to oversalt, while iodized salt can cause jars to explode. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place boiled mushrooms in a saucepan and cook over low heat, after boiling, for 25 minutes, the finished mushrooms should sink to the bottom. Remove from heat and cool.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash jars and lids thoroughly with mustard or baking soda and rinse thoroughly. Boil the lids for 10 minutes, and sterilize the jars in any convenient way. This can be steam, oven or microwave. I sterilized in the microwave for 4 minutes, at full power, pouring 2 centimeters of water into the jars.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the prepared mushrooms in jars so that they are completely covered with brine and immediately roll up. Store in the refrigerator or cellar. Honey mushrooms will be ready in 4 weeks.

8. STEP 8

   

   Bon appetit.

What an interesting recipe! Previously, I didn’t know how to pickle honey mushrooms for the winter in jars with the addition of horseradish and oak leaves. and currants. Usually I used this set for pickling cucumbers. These turned out to be such great mushrooms, strong, crispy, delicious! Thank you very much for the recipe!
