Pickling porcini mushrooms

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to pickle porcini mushrooms for the winter? Prepare the mushrooms first. You can buy them in a store or collect them yourself in the forest. I used porcini mushrooms that I collected myself. Also, according to this recipe, you can pickle Polish mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, fly mushrooms, aspen mushrooms, etc.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove all forest debris from the mushrooms, cut off some of the stems and the soil. Wash the caps and stems thoroughly in clean water to remove any remaining dirt.

3. STEP 3

   

   Leave small specimens whole or cut in half. Cut large mushrooms into medium-sized pieces. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the pan on the stove. Bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the white foam. Reduce the flame and cook the mushrooms for about 15 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare the spices. For pickling, I used several peas of allspice, salt and sugar. To taste, you can add a couple of dry clove buds and a bay leaf.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add salt, sugar and pepper to the pan with the mushrooms. Boil everything together for about 15 more minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash and sterilize jars and lids in a way that is convenient and accessible to you. I usually sterilize a small amount of containers in a water bath or in the microwave. If there are a lot of jars and lids, then it is convenient to sterilize them using the oven. Place the boiling mushrooms in jars to the very top and immediately close the lids.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn the container upside down and wrap it in a warm blanket or towel. Leave until completely cool, and then put in a cool storage place (pantry, cellar or on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator).

9. STEP 9

   

   The mushrooms are ready! You can serve them as an independent appetizer, garnished with several sprigs of fresh herbs and sprinkled with chopped onion in half rings. Salted white mushrooms are also suitable for various soups, solyanka, etc..
