Herring in sour cream

Herring in Sour Cream Sauce

(from my mother, Helen Schine Gold)

This is a delicious appetizer, best served on a good rye bread or freshly made artisan bread. It's very easy to make--the only difficult part is remembering to put it together two or three days before you want to serve it!

8 oz. sour cream

1 32-oz jar herring in wine sauce

2/3 cup white vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

1 t. pickling spices

3 medium onions, thinly sliced

Bring vinegar, sugar, and pickling spices to a boil.  Strain out spices and discard.  Cool the liquid.

Drain herring and discard onions.  Place herring in a bowl.  Add the sliced onions.

Blend vinegar mixture and sour cream.  Pour over herring and onions.  Marinate 2-3 days, mixing occasionally.

Will keep for weeks in the refrigerator.
