Pickled porcini mushrooms without vinegar at home have an amazing taste. I tried it once while visiting and immediately took the recipe from the hostess. Making them couldn't be easier!

Pickled porcini mushrooms for the winter - a simple recipe for cooking and preserving

I’ll start with porcini mushrooms, firstly, because I love them very much, and secondly, because many people are looking for recipes on how to prepare porcini mushrooms for the winter. I believe that pickling is one of the most reliable and delicious ways to preserve mushrooms. They store well and are ready to eat, just open the jar. Of course, dried mushrooms will allow you to fry them or make soup, just like frozen ones, but we’ll talk about that another time. Now about how to preserve mushrooms for the winter in jars.

Since it is not possible to know in advance exactly how many kilograms of mushrooms you can bring from the forest, I will give approximate volumes and will be based on the amount of marinade that will be required for preservation.

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 sterilized jars in advance. Small jars are suitable for pickling mushrooms, but you can use any jars you have at home. Cans are also easy to buy in the store. But don't forget to buy lids for them. The lids also need to be sterilized. To do this, just boil them in a saucepan for about 5 minutes.

2. Clean the mushrooms from any remaining soil and forest debris. To do this, rinse them with your hands under running water, and cut off the ends of the legs with a knife in those places where the soil has become ingrained.

Then, pour water into a large container and rinse the mushrooms. By the way, if you add salt to the washing water, then all the worms and larvae that were previously hiding in them will come out of the mushrooms.

3. Place the mushrooms in a large saucepan or basin, add water to cover them completely and place over medium heat. Let the mushrooms boil and reduce the temperature slightly so that the water and foam that appears do not run off onto the stove.

During the boiling process, the foam must be removed; it contains residual dirt and debris that could not be washed off with water. It often happens that something small goes unnoticed or is hidden somewhere in the cracks and folds of the mushroom.

Porcini mushrooms should be cooked for no more than half an hour. I usually cook for only 15 minutes the first time, since noble mushrooms do not require long cooking; boiling for too long only deprives them of taste and overcooks them.

Mushrooms in their own juice for the winter - a recipe without vinegar

This method of harvesting mushrooms later in the winter is like a godsend. Often used to prepare a quick dinner.

Cooking method

2. Place them in a frying pan, add salt to taste and fry over low heat in their own juice until semi-dry.

3. Then place them tightly in jars and roll them up.

Marinated mushrooms for the winter without vinegar - butter with citric acid

In order not to repeat myself, I’ll tell you about an alternative method of pickling mushrooms for the winter - without vinegar.

I have been hearing the opinion for a very long time that pickling in vinegar is harmful and many have begun to abandon it. Of course, there is an alternative to preparing delicious mushrooms for the winter with vinegar - this is the most common citric acid. It also affects the taste of the product. I tried pickled mushrooms with citric acid, but I did not form a categorical opinion that such mushrooms become tastier. I'll let you decide what tastes best to you.

And I’ll tell you about how to pickle mushrooms without vinegar. For example, let's take boletus, because these mushrooms are also often found in our forests, and their preparation is slightly different from others.

To prepare butter for the winter without vinegar you will need:

  • fresh boletus,
  • salt - 1 tablespoon,
  • sugar - 2 tablespoons,
  • citric acid (powder) - 1 teaspoon,
  • peppercorns - 4 pcs.
  • allspice - 1 piece,
  • bay leaf - 2 leaves.

Preparation:

1. The first and most important thing to remember when preparing butter. If you are going to remove the film from the caps, do not wash the mushrooms first. The film becomes very slippery and extremely difficult to remove.

In general, this is a matter of long debate about whether it is worth removing the film from the butter caps. In this regard, mushroom pickers are divided into two camps. Some say that the film makes the butternut taste bitter, others say that the taste does not spoil. But I can find one common purpose in this. The film of boletus makes any broth and marinade thick and slimy. If you don't like it, be sure to remove the film.

The film is removed from dry mushrooms before washing. This is done almost like peeling jacket potatoes. Take a knife and use the flat of the blade to pick up the edge of the film on the cap and pull. The film will peel off almost entirely, leaving only a clean white cap.

Peeled boletus turns out very tender and tasty.

2. Clean the butternut legs from any remaining soil and dark spots, then place them in a saucepan and fill with water until it covers them completely.

3. Place the pan on the fire and let it boil. The mushrooms will constantly float, so stir them and swap the top and bottom layers.

4. Be sure to remove any foam that appears with a spoon and throw it away.

5. Boil the mushrooms for 20 minutes, then drain the water. Rinse the mushrooms in running water to remove the remaining broth.

6. In a separate pan, prepare the marinade: dissolve salt, sugar and spices according to the recipe in 1 liter of water. Bring to a boil and add citric acid. Let simmer for 2 minutes and remove from heat.

7. Place the butter in sterilized jars, but not filling them to the very brim, but only up to the “shoulders” of the jar. That is, the place where the bank begins to narrow.

8. Pour the freshly boiled marinade over the mushrooms and immediately screw on the sterilized lids. Turn over and wrap with a towel.

When the mushrooms have cooled, the jars can be stored in a cool place.

Please note that pickling with citric acid is not always as reliable as pickling with vinegar (personal experience), so if possible, eat these mushrooms within 6 months. And monitor the integrity of the cans.
