Ingredients

Step cooking

You can harvest mushrooms for the winter according to this step-by-step recipe with a photo:

1. We prepare cans, wash them well with soda and sterilize.
   
2. We thoroughly wash fresh mushrooms, cut off the legs. If you want, you can don’t cut the legs and pickle the whole mushrooms.
   
3. We put the pan on the fire, bring to a boil. Pour mushrooms and boil for 5 minutes. Then we drain the water. Usually boiled mushrooms reduce their mass. We put a pot of water for the marinade on the fire. When the water boils, dip the mushrooms in a pan and bring to a boil.
   
4. When the mushrooms boil, remove the foam. Add salt, sugar, allspice, cloves and bay leaf. After 10 minutes, remove the bay leaf and throw it away.
   
5. Stir and simmer for a little boil until cooked. It takes about 25-30 minutes. Ready mushrooms begin to settle from the surface to the bottom. Add vinegar, bring it to a boil again and turn off the heat. We lay out the mushrooms with the help of a slotted spoon in prepared cans on a coat hanger. Mushrooms will have to float freely in the marinade. Bring the remaining marinade to a boil and put currant leaves and dill umbrellas in it so that they boil.
   
6. We lay out umbrellas and currant leaves in jars and boiling marinade pour mushrooms in jars. Banks need to twist so that air comes out, or knock on the table.
   
7. Add the marinade to the edges of the jar and close the lids. Let the banks cool and put them in a cool place for storage. It is recommended to store mushrooms no more than one year.
