Ingredients

3/4	cup	vinegar	white
1/2	cup	water
1/2	cup	sugar
2	pounds	herring, salted	cleaned, scraped and soaked in cold water for 12 hours or canned fillets
1 1/2	inches	horseradish root	fresh scraped and thinly sliced or 2 TB of prepared
1	medium	carrot	peeled and thinly sliced
2	small	red onions	peeled and thinly sliced
1/4	inch	ginger root	grated or thinly sliced, optional
2	teaspoons	allspice berries
1	teaspoon	mustard seeds	whole yellow
2	large	bay leaves

Directions

Bring the vinegar, water and sugar to boil in a 1 to 1-1/2 quart enameled or stainless-steed saucepan, stirring constantly until the sugar completely dissolves.

Remove the pan from the heat and let the pickling liquid cool to room temperature.

Meanwhile, wash the herring in cold running water and cut them into 1 inch thick pices.

Arrange a thin layer of onions in a 1-quart glass jar (a Mason jar, if possible) equipped with a tightly fitting cover.

Top with a few slices of herring, carrots, giner root and horse-radish and scatter with allspice, mustard seeds and bay leaf.

Repeat until all of the ingredients have been used, making 3 or 4 layers.

Pour the cool pickling liquid into the jar; it should just cover the contents.

Close the jar securely and refrigerate it for 2 or 3 days.

Serve as an appetizer.
