Harengs Marinés

Given the amount of white wine and vinegar, the flavour of these herrings will mellow and they can be kept for at least 3-4 days in the refrigerator. For a stronger flavour, increase the amount of vinegar. In the North a tablespoon of juniper berries is often added to the wine with the vegetables to make ‘Harengs marinés aux baies de genièvre’. The Normans often replace half the wine with dry cider, for ‘Harengs marinés au cidre’.
