--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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. 1 tb whole
  pickling spice added to the marinade adds zest.
