1. 1

   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.

2. 2

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

3. 3

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

4. 4

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

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 7

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

8. 8

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

9. 9

   Serve as an appetizer or as part of the smörgåsbord.
