Mushroom preparations for the winter

Perhaps not everyone loves to pick mushrooms. This is a very exciting activity, and you can endlessly describe the pleasure of it. But not every person will agree on a weekend, in the early autumn morning, when it is still dark and cold, to exchange the comfort of a bed for a trip through the forest. But everyone loves mushrooms cooked by caring hands!

Our ancient ancestors knew many ways to harvest mushrooms for future use. The most common of these are drying and salting. In our time, preservation has practically replaced salting, and there are also many recipes for preparing such dishes from mushrooms for the winter as assorted dishes, hodgepodge, caviar.

Honey mushrooms, especially small ones, are perhaps the most delicious of the mushrooms to be salted. Try a simple recipe for spicy mushrooms with garlic. For cooking you will need:

• Bay leaf - 7 pcs;
• Horseradish - 5 sheets;
• Salt - 250 g.

Wash honey mushrooms thoroughly under running water. Boil in salted water for 15 minutes, while skimming. Then discard the mushrooms in a colander so that the water is completely drained. Take the dishes (pot, barrel, jar), put horseradish leaves on the bottom. Lay the mushrooms in layers, sprinkling with a mixture of salt, finely chopped garlic and spices. Cover the top layer with horseradish leaves, put the load. After 20 days, your mushrooms are ready.

Then drain the water and squeeze the mushrooms, let them dry and pass through a meat grinder. Season with salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard and oil. Mix thoroughly, put the mass in jars, boil them in a large container and roll up.

Place in a bulky dish - enamel or glass - in several layers, shifting with garlic and coarsely chopped beets.
