3 tablespoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Pickling Spice

1 One fourth cup Sour cream
3 tablespoon Mayonnaise
2 teaspoon Dijonstyle mustard
1 Onion, halved, thinly cut or sliced up
1 Green delicious apple
1 Red delicious apple
Red leaf lettuce leaves (opt

In small saucepan, combine vinegar and water. Add sugar and Pickling Spice.

Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil 2 minutes; cool. Strain
and discard spices. Cut herring fillets in 1/2"wide strips and place in a
shallow dish. Pour cold marinade over fish. Cover and marinate several
hours or overnight.

Drain herring strips. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard
and onion. Cut apples in fourths, remove cores and slice thinly (do not
peel). Add cut or sliced up apples and herrings to sour cream mixture and mix
together gently until coated with dressing. Arrange lettuce leaves on 4
plates. Spoon herring mixture on plates and garnish with green onion
daisies and dill sprigs, if desired. Serve chilled.
