How to salt mushrooms in jars for the winter
Mushrooms are salted for the winter in three ways:
- Hot
- Cold
- Dry salting.
The difference between the methods lies in the duration of cooking, and the choice of a specific method depends on the type of mushroom. For example, with the cold method of salting, the readiness of the product occurs in about a month and a half. But the shelf life of such blanks is much longer. Hot salted food will be ready to eat in less than a month. But in terms of taste, they are significantly inferior to the previous ones. In addition, hot canned mushrooms do not last as long.
Cold way
This method got its name because during cooking mushrooms do not lend themselves to heat treatment. As a result, they do not lose their natural properties at all: they remain fragrant and crispy. However, it is worth noting that cold salting requires careful preparatory work, which consists in repeatedly soaking the mushrooms with frequent water changes (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Cold method
Mushrooms prepared in an appropriate way are laid out in a clean dish, sprinkled with various seasonings, for example, dill seeds, allspice and black pepper, bay leaves and garlic, and salt. So, for 1 kg of raw materials, you will need 2 tablespoons of salt, but everyone chooses seasonings and their amount according to his taste. The last is the layer of spices, which is covered with a small lid on which the load is placed. This is necessary in order for the mushrooms to release the juice and form a kind of marinade. It happens that little juice is released, then the weight of the load is increased or a little cold boiled water is poured into a container with mushrooms. It should be stored in a cool place for about a month and a half. This time will be enough for them to be salted and ready for consumption.
Hot way
Unlike the previous method, the hot salting method involves heat treatment of the mushrooms. This, of course, affects their appearance and taste. For example, hot salted products are not so crispy, and their shelf life is much shorter. However, in a city apartment, where there is not so much space, it is much easier to arrange several jars in the pantry than a whole tub. In addition, almost any species can be canned hot, which cannot be said about the cold one (Figure 3).
Just as in the previous case, the mushrooms must be prepared: sort out, peel, wash, cut if necessary. Remember to weigh them before boiling so you know how much salt you need. The proportion remains the same: for 1 kg of mushrooms - 2 tablespoons. salt. Bay mushrooms water and adding salt, cook them for about half an hour.It all depends on the species, since some of them are tougher and will take longer to cook. You can read about the features of salting of different types below.
Figure 3. Hot salting method
The foam formed on the surface during cooking must be removed. After the required time has elapsed, the mushrooms are removed from the boiling water using a slotted spoon, allowed to drain and cool. Take your time to pour out the brine, we still need it. Then the mushrooms are laid out in prepared sterile jars, on the bottom of which spices are preliminarily placed to taste. Sprinkle each layer with salt and the remaining spices until the jar is filled to the top. The contents of the jars are poured with the brine in which the mushrooms were boiled, and put under oppression for several weeks in a cold place. Subsequently, the ready-made mushrooms can be transferred to other, more convenient containers.
Rolling salted mushrooms for the winter
The taste of salted mushrooms is significantly different from pickled ones, but it is not always possible to preserve them until winter, because this requires a certain temperature in the room or a volumetric refrigerator. But experienced mushroom pickers know small secrets of long-term preservation of pickles. One of them is the rolling of salted mushrooms for the winter.
Mushrooms can be salted either raw or boiled beforehand. To pickle 1 kg of mushrooms, you will need 50 g of rock salt and seasoning to taste (garlic, horseradish, dill, lavrushka, pepper). Lay all ingredients in layers, put oppression on top.
When the mushrooms are salted and ready, drain all the released brine and rinse them. Prepare a fresh solution (0.5 tablespoons of salt per liter of water) and boil the pickled mushrooms in it for about 2 minutes. Then take out the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and put them in jars. Bring the remaining brine in the pan to a boil, pour it into jars of mushrooms and add 1.5 tsp to each half-liter container. vinegar. Sterilize for at least 30 minutes, roll up. Now pickles can be safely stored in the cellar all winter.
The most time-consuming process in rolling mushrooms for the winter is the preparation of the mushrooms themselves. But the time spent is worth it, because in winter such a snack will diversify the diet poor in vitamins and will become the pride of the festive table.
Many believe that the most delicious mushroom - it's white, and it's hard to disagree with them. It has an unusual nutty flavor and a pleasant aroma. People often call it a boletus, as it is most often found in a pine forest. There are a lot of options for its preparation, it is good in frying, salting and, of course, unique in addition to the main dish.

We prepare pickled porcini mushrooms for the winter - a simple recipe
I will start with porcini mushrooms, firstly, because I love them very much, and secondly, because many people are looking for recipes for how to prepare porcini mushrooms for the winter. I believe that pickling is one of the safest and most delicious ways to preserve mushrooms. They are well stored and ready to eat, just open the jar. Of course, dried mushrooms will allow them to be fried or cooked in soup, just like frozen ones, but we'll talk about this another time. Now about how to preserve mushrooms in jars for the winter.
Since it is not possible to know in advance how many kilograms of mushrooms you can bring from the forest, I will give approximate volumes and will start from the amount of marinade that will be required for conservation.
To marinate porcini mushrooms you will need:
- fresh porcini mushrooms,
- salt - 1 tablespoon
- sugar - 3 tablespoons,
- vinegar 9% - 80 grams,
- peppercorns - 6 peas,
- allspice - 6 peas,
- bay leaf - 3 pieces,
- garlic optional - 1 clove per jar.
Preparation:
1. Be sure to prepare pre-sterilized jars. Small jars are suitable for pickling mushrooms, but you can take any that you find in your home. It is also easy to buy cans in the store. But do not forget to buy covers for them. The lids must also be sterilized. To do this, it is enough to boil them in a saucepan for about 5 minutes.
2. Clear the mushrooms from the remnants of soil and forest debris. To do this, rinse them with your hands under running water, and cut the ends of the legs with a knife in those places where the soil has eaten.
Then, pour water into a large container and rinse the mushrooms. By the way, if you add salt to the water for washing, then all the worms and larvae that hid in them before will come out of the mushrooms.
3. Place the mushrooms in a large saucepan or bowl, cover with water and place over medium heat. Let the mushrooms boil and lower the temperature a little so that the water with the foam that appears does not run off onto the stove.
The foam must be removed during the boiling process; residues of dirt and debris appear in it, which could not be washed off with water. It often happens that something small goes unnoticed or hides somewhere in the crevices and folds of the mushroom.
Boil porcini mushrooms for no more than half an hour. I usually boil for the first time only 15 minutes, since noble mushrooms do not need a long boil, boiling too long only deprives them of their taste and overcooks them.
4. After boiling for 15 minutes, remove the mushrooms from the stove and drain. The first water is poured out, we will not need it for the marinade, since it will still not be clean enough and a little slimy. Discard the mushrooms through a sieve or colander, if there are many, then in batches.
5. Prepare the marinade to marinate the mushrooms for the winter. There are a lot of marinade recipes. This version offers a sweet and sour version, which is somewhat similar to a pickle for harvesting cucumbers. Although I know some people don't like adding sugar when pickling mushrooms, I think it's a matter of taste.
To prepare the marinade, pour a liter of water into a separate saucepan, add salt and sugar into it, put spices (except for garlic, it must be placed on the bottom of the jars before placing the mushrooms), then put on fire and bring to a boil.
6. Add vinegar to the boiled marinade and remove immediately from heat. Stir and pour over the hot, freshly boiled mushrooms with this marinade.The mushrooms should be completely covered. That is, if you have a lot of them and the marinade is not enough, then prepare another portion with the same proportions and add. It will take very little time.
7. Mushrooms in the marinade (in the right amount) put back on the fire and bring to a boil, this is necessary for additional sterilization.
8. Place the prepared marinated mushrooms in the prepared jars using a large spoon or ladle (if adding garlic, put one clove in the bottom of the jar). Try to fill them to the very top with liquid; the mushrooms will float to the top of the jar by themselves, you don't need to press them down.
Cover with hot, freshly sterilized lids and tighten.
Turn rolled or rolled jars onto the lid and leave to cool at room temperature.
Mushrooms marinated with tomatoes
A wonderful recipe for those who like to constantly cook something new. For the preparation of preservation, it is better to take small juicy tomatoes with dense skin. It's great if there is cherry - in combination with mushrooms, they will look amazing, but you can only learn the taste by preparing an unusual preparation.

- 25 g of salt (as much as possible);

- When the heat is off, add the garlic to the pot. It is not recommended to cut it, it is needed solely for smell.
Pickled porcini mushrooms
Autumn is known to be mushroom season. Just like fishing, picking up mushrooms, or as the people call "quiet hunting" - is one of the most interesting and exciting types of outdoor activities. And what delicious dishes can be prepared with collected forest gifts! Even such an ordinary dish as fried potatoes becomes just a culinary masterpiece.
The most avid mushroom pickers, in addition to preparing various dishes, stock up on mushrooms for the winter - for this they are frozen, dried and, of course, pickled.After all, in winter it is so nice to open a jar of pickled mushrooms, remember the warm days and feel the aroma of the summer forest!
The most valuable is the white mushroom - it is called the royal one. Porcini mushrooms are prized for their taste and nutritional properties. When cooked correctly, this is a real delicacy. This mushroom belongs to the first category. It is better than other mushrooms absorbed by the human body, and also contains many useful substances.
Ceps contain more than others riboflavin, a substance responsible for the health and growth of nails, hair, skin and the health of the body as a whole. Riboflavin is especially important for maintaining normal thyroid function.
Of course, the best way to preserve the beneficial properties of the porcini mushroom is to dry it, as well as freeze it. However, I also really like pickled porcini mushrooms. In addition, pickling them is not difficult at all, since they do not require any additional preparation, such as honey mushrooms or boletus. The main thing is to observe all proportions, the order of preparation, the necessary ingredients and purity.
Ingredients for making pickled porcini mushrooms:
1.5 kg - porcini mushrooms
For the marinade:
- 1 liter - water
- 1.5 - 2 tablespoons - salt
- 1 tablespoon - granulated sugar
- 3 - bay leaves
- 6 peas - allspice
- 1 tsp - 70-80 percent vinegar essence
- some cloves and cinnamon
How to pickle porcini mushrooms?
Preparing mushrooms before pickling:
For pickling, it is advisable to use only freshly picked mushrooms, in a day they will already be unsuitable for this. It is best to choose smaller and stronger mushrooms, and, of course, not wormy, because after pickling all the wormholes will be perfectly visible, unlike, for example, dried mushrooms.
We take the weight of mushrooms without legs, since it is advisable to use only mushroom caps for pickling. The legs of the mushrooms can be boiled and used to prepare other dishes, such as fried with potatoes.
We thoroughly wash the hats from sand and forest debris, leave the small ones as they are, and cut the larger caps into pieces. At the same time, we put water on the stove for boiling mushrooms and a device for sterilizing cans (you can use a regular kettle for this).
Jars with lids are thoroughly washed, both inside and outside. For one can, five minutes of sterilization is enough. Fill the lids with boiling water and leave to lie until closing.
Put the porcini mushrooms in boiling slightly salted water and cook until tender over medium heat, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms are ready if most of them have sunk to the bottom (approximately 10 - 15 minutes after boiling).
How to make a marinade for porcini mushrooms:
Simultaneously, cook the marinade in a nearby saucepan. The advantage of this method of pickling is that the marinade remains transparent, if only slightly tinted with spices.
To prepare the marinade, bring 1 liter of water to a boil and add salt, sugar, bay leaf, allspice, cloves and cinnamon in the amount specified in the recipe. Cook for 10 or 15 minutes. The total amount of marinade is taken based on a liter jar of mushrooms - 200 ml. marinade.
As a result, our mushrooms and marinade will be ready at the same time. After the mushroom marinade is ready, add 1 teaspoon of 70-80 percent vinegar essence to it. Using a slotted spoon, we immediately put the mushrooms into prepared jars and fill them with marinade under the lid.
In order to store pickled mushrooms for longer, more than six months, it is advisable to add a little more essence, and pour a little sunflower oil (real, not pasteurized) into each jar before closing. After that, half-closed jars with lids are placed in hot water, brought to a boil and boiled for half a liter and 40 liters for 30 minutes. Then the lids are rolled up or closed.
If you pickle mushrooms in the fall and plan to use this product in the same winter, then re-sterilization can be neglected.It is enough to wrap up inverted jars in a sweatshirt or an old warm jacket for several hours.
From one and a half kilograms of porcini mushroom caps, I got 2 jars with a capacity of 0.550 and 0.720 and half a jar for testing. After two weeks, the pickled mushrooms will be ready to eat. Good luck with your blanks!
Which mushrooms can be salted together?
Here are some combinations of picking a mushroom mixture:
1. White mushroom, separately salted only outwardly beautiful on a platter, but it is best to "dilute" it with medium-sized aspen mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, russula or chanterelles. There should be no more than 30% of foreign mushrooms to the main one.
2. Milk mushrooms also love impurities - you can mix them with a volushka, other lamellar mushrooms, as well as the legs of aspen mushrooms.
3. Chanterelles, though not beautiful by themselves, are good only in bouquets with any (especially porcini) mushrooms - here it is true that up to 50% of impurities are not scary. And in general, this mushroom is more a decoration of a dish than as such a flavoring component. More than once I tried to salt them separately, but the result is zero, no taste, no smell - a translation of the product and a waste of time.
4. Valuey! This is truly a delicacy! Yes, yes, don't be surprised! Nondescript in appearance, but in a salty form - excellent! They don't like impurities, except that there are a bit of mushrooms or russula.
5. Butterlets, honey agarics - salt separately. These mushrooms and pickled are most often also separately.
6. There is such a mushroom - a pig, tasty, but nondescript in appearance, besides there are rumors about their unsuitability for food. It is reasonable to use them separately, because they are not soaked for a long time, but boiled for a very long time! 3 hours exactly, so that the mushrooms drown, and the water in which they were boiled is drained. Next, the brine is prepared.
Features of the selection and preparation of porcini mushrooms for pickling
Before cooking porcini mushrooms, marinated for the winter, they must be selected and processed correctly. Consider the following nuances here.
-
The taste of mushrooms does not depend on their size, so you can safely choose both large and small ones.
The latter are even more convenient - they can be put in jars as a whole, while large ones will need to be cut into several parts. -
Strong mushrooms without defects are suitable for blanks.
Mushroom pickers, of course, recommend taking "samples" immediately after collection. But for those who do not know the intricacies of "quiet hunting", let's say that purchased mushrooms will turn out to be no less tasty. The main thing is that they do not stale. It is believed that the first day after picking the mushrooms is considered the best period for pickling. -
Unlike pickled mushrooms or butter mushrooms, not the whole porcini mushroom is pickled as a whole, but only its cap.
This should be taken into account when collecting or purchasing, as the result may result in a much smaller volume of blanks than planned. Do not throw away the legs - they can be fried with onions or baked with meat. -
A pickled porcini mushroom recipe may include sterilizing cans or advice on how to do without it.
In the first case, there are more guarantees that the jars will reach the moment when you want to taste their contents. -
Mushrooms should not be soaked in water before cooking, as they actively absorb it.
It is necessary to quickly rinse them under running water, separating the caps from the legs. The latter, if you plan to boil or fry, clean with a brush or hard washcloth.
