How to freeze buttermilk for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. In our case, one ingredient is buttermilk. Butter mushrooms are quite clean and very tasty, and of course, it is simply impossible not to prepare them for the future, so that in the cold winter it would be possible to cook mushrooms with the real smell of wild mushrooms. It is best to take butter of a small size, and not wormy. When picking mushrooms, cut off the mushroom with a knife, leaving the mycelium in the ground. Sort out the mushrooms, remove the leaves and excess debris.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the mushrooms, be sure to dry them well. Buttermilk can be cleaned by removing the brown skin from above, but I usually do not do this. To do or not - choose for yourself.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the large mushrooms into 2-3 pieces, leave the small ones intact. There are two ways to freeze mushrooms: they can be frozen raw or boiled. If you freeze the mushrooms raw, at this stage, put them in containers with a lid or in bags for freezing. Keep in mind that if the mushrooms are frozen raw, they will keep their shape and take up much more space in the freezer than if the mushrooms are boiled.

4. Step 4:

   

   If you decide to freeze boiled mushrooms, then boil water, salt it. With the help of salt water, you will also expel all the worms in the mushrooms.

5. Step 5:

   

   As soon as the water boils, put the mushrooms in it.

7. Step 6:

   

   Cook over low heat, constantly removing the foam, for about 15 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then discard the mushrooms on a sieve, rinse with cold water and cool. The mushrooms are ready to freeze.

9. Step 8:

   

   You can freeze in plastic containers with a lid or in special bags for freezing. In packages, of course, they will take up much less space than in containers, so I freeze in packages. Arrange the mushrooms in such an amount that they are enough for one serving, because thawed mushrooms are not subject to repeated freezing.

10. Step 9:

    

    Tie the bags and put them in the freezer. It is advisable to freeze food in turbo mode, at a sufficiently low temperature -18-20 g.

11. Step 10:

    

    This is what buttermilk looks like, frozen raw. Defrost frozen mushrooms gradually, first in the refrigerator and only then at room temperature. Bon appetit!
