  • Root vegetables are best scrubbed with a brush or a stiff sponge under running water.
  • Instead of fresh mushrooms, you can use frozen or dried ones (you'll need 5–6 times less dried than fresh). Frozen mushrooms don't need to be thawed for this recipe — you're boiling them anyway. Dried mushrooms should be rinsed well, since they aren't washed before drying, then soaked in cold water for at least 1–2 hours before cooking.
  • To keep your summer preserves from spoiling or bursting in storage, read up on the basic rules, tips, and tricks for canning for winter.
  • To keep your eyes from stinging while you cut onions, rinse both the onion and the knife with cold water. The cutting board won't hold on to the onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon first.
