Soused Herrings. Time—½ hour.
3 herrings, ½ pint vinegar, 2 bay-leaves, whole peppers, salt, and cloves to taste.
Split and halve the herrings, roll and tie them up. Place them in a pie-dish, half cover with vinegar, add whole peppers, salt, cloves, and bay-leaves, and bake in a slow oven until they feel soft (about 20 minutes).
