Modern RedactionIngredients:
230g mushrooms (chestnut would be good but ordinary closed cup mushrooms will work). These should be about 3cm in diameter Method:Wash the mushrooms with a damp cloth (do not wash under running water as they will absorb the liquid and won't pickle properly). Slice off the stems within 1 cm of the cap. Add he water to a saucepan, add half the salt and the mushrooms and bring to the boil. Once they have started to boil drain the mushrooms immediately and place in a large screw-top jar. Add the spices, the remainder of the salt then pour the wine and the vinegar over the top. (If there is insufficient liquid top-up with more white wine vinegar. Cover the jar with a ring of plastic to protect the cap from corrosion, invert the jar several times to make sure that the spices are evenly distributed in the pickling liquid then store in a cool place for 3 to 4 days before serving. |
