How to preserve champignons for the winter: basic rules
Various recipes for preserving champignons for the winter help to choose the best dishes that will delight the whole family all year round. But to get quality canned mushrooms with a high nutrient content, you must adhere to the basic rules.
- Champignons for the winter should be harvested on fine days and in the first half of the day (before noon), otherwise their shelf life is noticeably reduced, and canned food prepared from such mushrooms does not have such a pleasant and specific taste.
- When collecting, it must be remembered that mushrooms very actively accumulate radionuclides and salts of heavy metals, which are a great danger to human health.
Therefore, it is impossible to pick mushrooms in places of radioactive fallout, in the area of operation of industrial enterprises, as well as along roads and railways.
In mushrooms collected in unfavorable industrial zones and along roads, the content of heavy metals exceeds the norm by many times: lead - 5 times, copper - 12 times, cadmium - 8 times, mercury - 37 times.
- It is necessary to process them on the day of collection in order to avoid the formation of poisonous compounds in the mushrooms.
- It is best to pick mushrooms in wide baskets with their caps facing up. In this position, they retain their shape better, do not wrinkle or crumble.
- For blanks, it is best to collect young mushrooms.
- To prevent the peeled mushrooms from turning black, they must be immediately immersed in cold salted or acidified water.
- After preliminary mechanical treatment, porcini mushrooms are doused with boiling water 2-3 times, and the rest are boiled for 4-5 minutes. After such heat treatment, the mushrooms become soft and elastic and do not crumble.
- To preserve nutrients and flavoring substances in mushrooms, they must be cooked with low heating, the temperature should not exceed 95–97 degrees, that is, the broth should only boil slightly. When cooked, finely chopped mushrooms reach readiness in 10-15 minutes, larger ones - in 20-25 minutes. The beginning of cooking and stewing should be considered the moment when the liquid boils.
- You need to boil mushrooms for pickling separately, since the cooking time for each type of mushroom is different.
- Mushrooms should not be flavored with particularly hot spices and seasonings, they should only slightly emphasize the pleasant taste and delicate natural aroma of the mushrooms.

How to cook salted champignons for the winter (with video)
Recipes for cooking champignon mushrooms for the winter can be very different, contain all sorts of additional components, but there are certain rules for their preparation.
There are two ways of pickling mushrooms - cold and hot, in which lactic acid fermentation occurs with the formation of lactic acid. Lactic acid and table salt are powerful preservatives that prevent mushroom spoilage.
Each variety of mushrooms is salted separately, while the size of the mushrooms should be the same as possible - small mushrooms can be salted whole, and large ones can be cut into appropriate pieces. For salting mushrooms, it is better to use wooden barrels, called tubs, you can use glass jars or enameled dishes. With the cold method of salting, the mushrooms are put in a dish in layers and with a hat facing up, sprinkling each layer with salt and shifting with spices and herbs. Usually, for 1 kg of mushrooms, you need to take 40–45 g of salt. Cover the mushrooms with a cotton napkin, put a wooden circle and a load. The mushrooms should be completely submerged in the brine. As the mushrooms settle, the dishes are supplemented with a new portion of the mushrooms until the dishes are completely filled. Mushrooms are topped up with brine prepared from the same calculation - 40–45 g of salt per 1 liter of water. Make sure that the mushrooms are immersed in the brine and remove to a cold room. After 15–20 days, the mushrooms can be consumed. If mold suddenly appears, clean the napkin, circle and cargo from mold, rinse with running water and scald with boiling water.
With the hot method of salting, process the mushrooms in the same way as the cold method, then blanch for 4–5 minutes in boiling salted water, and the legs must be blanched a little longer than the caps - 6–7 minutes. Throw the blanched mushrooms on a sieve and let the water drain, then lay them in layers in a salting dish, sprinkle with salt and spices, and proceed as in the cold method.
The readiness of the mushrooms is also achieved after 15–20 days.
To preserve salted mushrooms for a longer time, they can be preserved.
If mushrooms are salted, their taste can be improved by boiling for 5-6 minutes in water.
