Pickled Milk-Cap Mushrooms for Winter
A recipe for pickling and putting up delicious mushrooms for the winter. Our forests are full of bitter milk-cap mushrooms (gorkushki), which many foragers pass over, dismissing them as second-rate. Well, I don't believe there's any such thing as a second-rate mushroom; there are only badly cooked ones and poisonous ones. So today I'd like to share my recipe for pickled milk-caps, which I put up to enjoy later. To my mind, unlike some kinds of milk mushrooms, with these you can completely tame the bitterness by parboiling and soaking them in salted water.

- Gather the mushrooms and rinse the sand off them in the sink. Then parboil the milk-caps in lightly salted water for 20 minutes. Drain, cover them with fresh water, and let them soak for a full day, changing the water every 3 to 4 hours, until all the bitterness has leached out. Taste a mushroom; once they're mild, they're ready to pickle. Make the marinade (scale it to how many mushrooms you have): for every 1 quart (1 liter) of water, use 10 black peppercorns, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, 4 bay leaves, 10 whole cloves, 20 coriander seeds, 5 allspice berries, and 100 ml (about 7 tablespoons) of 5% white vinegar. First add everything except the vinegar to the water and boil for 20 minutes, then add the vinegar and the mushrooms and boil for another 10 minutes. Pack the pickled milk-caps into prepared jars, pour the marinade over the top, seal, and wrap them up until completely cooled. Come winter, you'll enjoy these mushrooms! Enjoy!
