You're preserving fresh mushrooms in a tangy vinegar brine – a classic way to make them last. The trickiest part is the sterilizing step, which takes 30–40 minutes and requires careful handling to seal the jars properly, but once that's done, you'll have shelf-stable pickled mushrooms ready to enjoy for months.

Prepare the mushrooms
Clean all the mushrooms thoroughly and rinse them in a colander under running water. Cut larger mushrooms into pieces, leaving smaller ones whole. Boil the mushrooms for about 10 minutes in salted water, then drain and let them dry off. Use 1 tablespoon of salt per 1 litre of water.
