-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Schmaltz herring
2 Onions
1 c Vinegar
1/2 c Water
3 tb Sugar (to taste)
1 c Sour cream
1 tb Whole pickling spice
(optional)
Soak herring whole overnight. Remove skins and
entrails. Filet herring and cut into pieces; or cut
into slices through bone. Place herring in jar in
layers alternating with sliced onions. Combine
vinegar, water, sugar and sour cream. Pour over
herring. Store in refrigerator for a day or two before
serving.
If you like it sweeter, add more sugar; sour, add
vinegar. If you wish, omit sour cream in the pickling
liquid. Instead, add it to the drained, pickled
herring when ready to serve. A tbs of whole pickling
spice added to the marinade adds zest.
