- 6 fillets of miltz herring
- 4 onions, sliced
- 1 cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons pickling spice
- 2 bay leaves
- ¾ cup sour cream (optional)
Wash herring thoroughly and soak in cold water for 6 hours; drain.
Cut the herring into 2 inch pieces. In a glass jar or bowl, arrange alternate layers of herring and onions. Bring the vinegar, water, sugar, pickling spice and bay leaves to a boil. Cool slightly and pour over the herring. Cover tightly and shake. Place in the refrigerator for 48 hours before serving. For dairy meals, the liquid may be mixed with the sour cream before or after pickling. This may be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serves 6 to 12.
