Step cooking

1. We mushrooms mushrooms collected in the forest in an amount of about 5-6 kg, we sort out, remove excess debris, and clean from undesirable fractions. We wash the mushrooms under running water, place in a large pot or basin, pour clean water so that honey agarics are covered with water. We put on the fire. Bring to a boil and cook for five minutes.

3. To do this, put a colander in the sink, with the help of a small saucepan, pick up the mushrooms along with dirty water and pour into a colander. Water drains, and the mushrooms remain in a colander. We put honey mushrooms in a separate pan.

Pour mushrooms with clean water, send to the fire for a second cooking. We close the pots with lids in order to boil faster. After honey agarics boil, cook them for 25-30 minutes on medium heat.
   
6. After a half-hour boiling, filter the mushrooms again through a colander, as after five minutes of boiling, rinse with cold running water, put in a separate container. My mushrooms, too, several times, until the water becomes completely clean. After that, the mushrooms are ready for use.
