Directions

1

Take one-half dozen small Holland or Eastern herrings out of the brine, split them through the back and soak them in cold water over night; in the morning clean them nicely; cut them crosswise into strips of one-half an inch and put them into a deep dish with one-half dozen good sized onions sliced thin ; season with pepper and three tablespoonfuls of brown sugar ; then pour on enough vinegar to cover them. Will be ready for use in time for supper, and will keep a week or more in a cool place.
