I love Pickled Herring. It will take 24 hours to make.
Ingredients:
3 -4 large salted herrings
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 bay leaf, crushed
1 teaspoon whole allspice, crushed
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
10 whole cloves
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
Directions:
1. Clean herring and soak in cold water in the refrigerator about 12 hours, changing water at least twice.
2. Cut herring diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
3. Boil vinegar and sugar together, then cool.
4. Mix crushed bay leaf, allspice, mustard seeds and whole cloves.
5. In a glass jar, arrange some of the spice mixture, herring pieces, onion and carrot; continue in layers.
6. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the layers, cover, and refrigerate at least 12 hours.
