blackcurrant leaf
10 pieces.

- Put a layer of horseradish leaves, allspice and black pepper, a dill umbrella and 1-2 cloves of garlic on the bottom of the sterilized jar.
- The next level is waves (3 cm). Each mushroom layer is well salted (2 pinches).

On top of the leaves of horseradish you need to slightly salt and add sunflower oil (or other vegetable oil) to the edges of the container, forming an "oil shutter". This procedure protects the mushrooms from possible oxygen.
- The jar must be closed with a plastic lid and set aside in a cool place. After a couple of days, you can check the traps for the amount of salt, as the salinity in the entire bank will already be the same. If the product is not salty enough, then you can still add salt to the workpiece from above.
