How to freeze chanterelle mushrooms
You can also have fresh chanterelles in winter. After all, frozen chanterelles taste no different from fresh ones. And freezing fresh mushrooms is very easy. Unlike other mushrooms, chanterelles can be frozen in several ways.
Method No. 1 freezing raw chanterelles
In this form, you can freeze young mushrooms that have not yet fully straightened their caps.
Sort through the mushrooms, clean them of debris, remove old and wormy ones. The rest should be washed with cold water in several waters, but do not soak. Chanterelles absorb water strongly, and subsequently the taste may be lost. Then the mushrooms need to be dried on a towel, distributed in portions into bags, and placed in the freezer.
The shelf life of such mushrooms is 4-6 months.
Method No. 2 for freezing boiled chanterelles
This is a method for mature, large mushrooms. Not old of course, but on the verge. Such mushrooms can be somewhat bitter, and cooking is a great way to get rid of the bitterness.
Also, as in the previous version, you need to sort out the mushrooms, cut large ones into pieces, pour them into a saucepan, add cold water (salt to taste), and put on gas.
Boil the chanterelles for 10-15 minutes. When boiling, even washed mushrooms will have a lot of foam, and it needs to be skimmed off with a slotted spoon.
After this, the mushrooms need to be placed in a colander and the water removed as much as possible. The less water the better.
Place the boiled and cooled chanterelles in bags and freeze them.
The shelf life of boiled chanterelles is 3-5 months.
