Rules for pre-treatment are oily
Many housewives argue that it is necessary to peel off the skin covering the cap of the butter. It will allegedly make the finished product taste bitter. In fact, the film only has this property on very old mushrooms; it does not need to be removed from young ones. Simply wash the mushrooms with a soft brush, removing all dirt on the cap and stem.
Damaged parts from the oil must be cut off, since it is not possible to wash out the debris that has penetrated into the porous structure, and it is dangerous to leave it. During processing, harmful microorganisms that can cause poisoning will begin to multiply in these places.
After cleaning, boil the boletus in lightly salted water for 25–30 minutes. To prevent the flesh from darkening, it is better to cook large mushrooms whole, adding vinegar or citric acid to the water, only then cut into smaller pieces.
Step-by-step instruction
Before you start canning, the butter must be prepared. You will also need to prepare jars and lids:
- they need to be sterilized and dried. You can do this in water, over steam or in the microwave;
- First clean the boletus from forest debris, cut off the lower part of the stem, remove the soil and remove the skin from the cap;
- then the mushrooms are washed in cold water.
Important! If you wash the oils first, then after that it will be difficult to clean them, they will become slippery and will jump out of your hands.
To remove specific mucus from the surface of mushrooms, you need to perform some steps:
- soak the mushrooms in salted water and rinse well;
- change the water and repeat the procedure twice;
- Rinse the boletus under running water, thoroughly rinsing each fungus.
Attention! If you come across a wormy oil can, it is better to throw it away completely, otherwise it will ruin the entire preservation.
Large boletus is cut into 2 or 4 parts, small ones are left whole. The preparation will look more beautiful if you roll the mushrooms according to size - large ones separately from small ones, add medium-sized fruits to any others.
How long should you cook butter to preserve for the winter?
Before canning, butter must be boiled. To do this, you need to boil water, salt it and put the mushrooms in it. They should be boiled for at least 15 minutes, but no more than half an hour.
Attention! It is better to choose a larger container (for convenience); add salt to taste, but not too much, so that the result is not over-salted canned food. As a rule, a tablespoon per 2 liters of water is enough.
Afterwards, place the mushrooms in a colander and let them drain. During cooking, foam forms, which must be removed using a slotted spoon.
Important! To avoid contamination of preserved food with botulism, it is recommended to boil mushrooms three times at intervals of 24 hours. Long-term sterilization or boiling of mushrooms after opening the can before use is also suitable.
