Pickled blueberries for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to pickle the blueberries for the winter? Prepare the ingredients. The main thing is, of course, mushrooms. They should be freshly harvested, strong and elastic. Of course, mushrooms should be checked whether they are wormy or not, but in my opinion, even if you find a wormy specimen, it's okay: soak such mushrooms in salt water and the worms will leave the mushroom. Vinegar use 9%, but the specified amount of ordinary table vinegar can be replaced with one spoonful of essence.

2. Step 2:

   

   Clean the mushrooms, remove the mycelium, if any, and dirt. Cut the mushrooms into medium-sized pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the mushrooms in a saucepan, pour clean water so that they float freely in it, add a little salt.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put on a small fire, bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, constantly removing the foam.

5. Step 5:

   

   Remove the mushrooms from the heat, put them in a colander and rinse under running water.

6. Step 6:

   

   Make the marinade in a separate saucepan. Pour in 1 liter of water.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add spices: allspice, cloves and bay leaf.

8. Step 8:

   

   Add 2 tbsp.spoons of salt and sugar.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour in the vinegar.

11. Step 10:

    

    Bring the marinade to a boil.

12. Step 11:

    

    Add the washed mushrooms to the boiling marinade and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

13. Step 12:

    

    Add chopped garlic. I put the cloves through the press, but you can grate the garlic on a grater or just chop it with a sharp knife. Boil the mushrooms for another 5 minutes and remove from the heat.

14. Step 13:

    

    Sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I pour some water into the jars and put it in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. It is enough to boil the lids. Read more about the methods of sterilizing cans at the bottom of the recipe.

15. Step 14:

    

    Fill the jars with mushrooms, top up with brine if necessary.

16. Step 15:

    

    Close the lids tightly or roll up with a typewriter. Turn the jars upside down with the lids, wrap them with something warm and leave to cool. Sterilization is not required in this case. Such a blank is perfectly stored in normal room conditions, without a refrigerator.

17. Step 16:

    

    Delicious, fragrant mushrooms are ready. You can use them in 25-30 days. Enjoy your meal!
