Salting ginger for winter cold way

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to salt ginger for the winter in a cold way? It is better to salt the ginger on the day of their assembly, when they are fresh and firm, and if mushrooms with worms hit, they will not have time to hit the rest of the mushrooms. To avoid detection of worms in the workpiece in the future, it is better to soak the mushrooms in salt water. To do this, clean the ginger, remove the debris and leaves, the ground, rinse under running water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Fill the mushrooms with cold water, add salt and leave for a couple of hours. Then drain the water, rinse the mushrooms, put them in a colander and let the water drain well.

3. Step 3:

   

   Horseradish leaves are often used when salting mushrooms, because this plant has antibacterial properties, prevents mold and spoilage of the product. Also take black currant leaves, peppercorns, allspice, cloves, bay leaf and salt. Thanks to this set, the mushrooms will turn out fragrant and crispy.

5. Step 4:

   

   It is better to use glass, ceramic, enameled or wooden containers for salting, so that its volume is twice the number of mushrooms. Put the washed and dried horseradish leaves on the bottom. Pour one third of the cooked mushrooms on top. On them, also pour a third of the prepared amount of salt and each spice. Again a layer of mushrooms, salt and spices.

6. Step 5:

   

   Similarly lay out two more layers of mushrooms. Top with the remaining spices, salt, blackcurrant leaves, bay leaf and chopped garlic. Put a plate in a saucepan on mushrooms, the size of which is smaller than the diameter of the pan — it will act as a yoke. And put a smaller saucepan filled with water on a plate. Leave the redheads in this form for 2 weeks. Put the pan with them in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf.

7. Step 6:

   

   Then put the mushrooms in sterilized jars, pour the juice formed in a saucepan from the mushrooms, put the spices in jars as well. Roll up the jars and store them in a cool place. It is possible to eat salted redheads only a month after salting.
