Honey mushrooms are forest mushrooms that are popular with mushroom pickers due to their ease of harvesting.

Processing again does not take much time, but still necessary. Especially if the fruits were collected by a person on their own. To reduce cleaning costs, fallen leaves and other debris should be removed from honey agarics while still in the forest. Since they grow in the forest almost all year round, you also have to get rid of damaged mushrooms or specimens eaten by rodents.

  • Reduces cleaning time and proper harvesting. Honey mushrooms are cut closer to the hat, leaving a small part of the leg on the stump or other surface. The harvested fruits are folded into a dense, rigid container so that they do not lose their shape.
  • The place where the fungus is cut tends to darken very quickly, so processing should be carried out immediately after coming from the forest. To begin with, the fruiting bodies are sorted by size, then most of the stem is cut off, and the caps are wiped with a damp towel.
  • Before marinating, boiling or frying mushrooms, they must undergo a soaking procedure in water. It lasts no more than half an hour. This is necessary, since excess bitterness will be removed along with water, as well as small insects living in fruits.
  • Then a special “skirt” on the leg, a film, is removed.

A simple recipe for fried mushrooms for the winter

To prepare fried mushrooms for the winter, it is necessary to select substandard fruits, that is, those that did not fit due to size for other types of processing. Honey mushrooms should be trimmed, and their hats are large.

Components:

  • honey mushrooms;
  • vegetable oil (margarine or melted animal fat);
  • salt and spices to taste.

The number of listed components is measured "by eye", since the weight of the mushrooms is different for each. Fruits should not be drowned in oil. The taste of mushrooms is moderately salty.

Cooking:

  1. Wash mushrooms and cut into large pieces. Heat the pan as much as possible with vegetable oil in it and fill it all the way to the top with mushrooms. Cover the container with a lid and simmer the fruits for about half an hour. During this time, the mushrooms will release juice and begin to fry in oil. After the liquid appears, the lid is removed and the fruits are allowed to fry until golden brown.
  2. The readiness of mushrooms is determined simply - the cooked fruits begin to crack or click.
  3. Pre-sterilized in any convenient way, the jars are filled with mushroom mass and poured with melted margarine on top.
  4. Banks should cool in a warm place, put in position with lids down. After cooling, they are cleaned in a refrigerator or pantry with cool air.

Harvesting fried mushrooms for the winter in the freezer

Before freezing, honey mushrooms must also be processed. To begin with, mushrooms are selected, all specimens with wrinkled sides, worms and rot are rejected. For freezing and further cooking, only those fruits that have a dense leg of the correct shape and a fairly large hat are suitable. Mushrooms do not need to be washed before freezing.

Frozen and already fried mushrooms are a kind of semi-finished product that is convenient to use for cooking first courses, side dishes or baking toppings. To make such mushrooms, the fruits themselves are needed, as well as vegetable oil.

  • Pure mushrooms are laid out in a pan and fried over medium heat for half an hour. Then they are transferred to a sieve or colander so that excess fat comes out of them under their own weight.
  • After the mushroom mass is laid out in portioned packages. Please note that all air must be completely released from them!
  • The packaged product is tightly placed in the freezer.

It is not necessary to defrost fried mushrooms - a piece of the desired size is immediately placed either in soup or in another dish.
