Servings 1 jar

Ingredients

Imperial – Metric
  • 1.6 lbs herring filets

Brine (only used if buying fresh herring)

  • 4.2 cups water
  • 0.6 cups vinegar essence (24%)
  • 3 tbsp salt

Marinade

  • 0.8 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2.5 tbsp mustard (unsweetend)
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 tsp HP Sauce
  • 0.2 cups water
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 oz frozen dill

Instructions

  • There are two ways of preparing herring, depending on how you buy them.
  • If you buy herring in tin cans, the first thing you must do is de-brine them as they are way too salty. Place them in a large pot filled with plenty of cold water for two hours. Then get rid of the water.
  • If you buy fresh herring, on the other hand, place them in a brine in the fridge overnight, see ingredients above.
  • Remove the herring from the water, and let the water drip off. Cut the herring filéts in bite sizes. Mix the herring with all ingredients in a glass jar. Keep it in the fridge.
