1 cup Swedish vinegar
2 cups sugar
5 white peppercorns
2 bay leaves

1 carrot, peeled and sliced
Fresh dill

Directions:
Soak herring filets in 1 quart water for 3 hours; skin and set aside.
Combine vinegar, sugar, 3 cups water, peppercorns,
and bay leaves in a medium pot.
Bring to a boil, then let cool.

Add onions and carrots. Pour vinegar mixture over herring,
cover, and refrigerate for 3–7 days.
