Simple recipes for preparing crispy pickled milk mushrooms in jars for the winter
Milk mushroom is one of the most delicious, but, unfortunately, the most rarely found mushrooms. If you manage to find it in the forest, then you want to quickly prepare a delicious dish from it in order to enjoy the excellent taste. Fortunately, this can be done not only in summer, but also in winter, if you know the recipe for pickled milk mushrooms.
Milk mushroom, like any other mushroom, is a capricious product.
Therefore, to make the dish tasty, it is worth mastering several cooking technologies:
- A mandatory procedure is mushroom sorting. Under no circumstances should wormy or rotten forest products be allowed to get into the dish.
- The second stage of preparation is the removal of contaminants. Each milk mushroom must be thoroughly rinsed with water.
- The longest and most exhausting process is soaking, which is carried out for two days. To do this, you need to fill the main component of the workpiece with lightly salted water and change it periodically.
- After soaking, you need to rinse all the mushrooms again.
Many housewives use a trick. They boil the mushrooms for 20 minutes 3-4 times, but in water with a high salt content. Of course, this will shorten the soaking period. But because of this, the mushrooms will stop crunching, which is unacceptable for pickled milk mushrooms.
How to select and prepare mushrooms before pickling
It is recommended to choose only those mushrooms that grow in the forest. Many people collect or buy them near the trails. This is highly not recommended. Mushrooms are capable of absorbing harmful toxins that cannot be removed even after prolonged soaking.
