Many housewives prefer to serve boletus mushrooms along with various sauces. For example, soy sauce or mustard seed sauce is placed next to the mushrooms. They do this for one purpose - to give the dish sweetness or, conversely, spiciness, etc.
Terms and conditions of storage
Usually the product is stored at a temperature not exceeding 18 °C. The ideal place is the cellar and basement. If there are not a lot of cans, a refrigerator will do.
In places where the temperature does not rise above 8 °C, jars of boletus mushrooms can be stored for up to two years. There is one condition: the marinade must completely cover the fruit. If mold forms on the surface, such mushrooms cannot be eaten, as they produce toxins that are dangerous to humans.
