__________________________________________________ ____
Cut fillets into squares, about the size of pickled herring pieces. Place fillets into crock or glass jar with brine for 24 hours. (do not use plastic)
Brine: ½ cup salt (not iodized), to 1 quart water. Stir until salt is dissolved. Cover fillets completely, large batch may need 2 brine mixes.
Stir with plastic or wooden spoon once or twice during the 24 hour period.
Drain off brine after 24 hours and discard. Cover with white vinegar for 12 hours. (if this goes over 12 hours, it should not be a problem). During the 12 hours, make the following pickling solution:
Pickling Solution:
4 cups white vinegar
3 cups sugar
1 cup Silver Satin Wine (do not substitute)
2 raw onions (sliced thin)
¼ cup pickling spice
Method: Dissolve sugar in white vinegar, heat then cool, (do not boil). After it cools add Silver Satin Wine, onions and pickling spice. Bring to a boil then cool. (Do Not Add Warm Solution to the Fillets!)
Drain off vinegar and discard. Put fish back in large jar or crock with pickling solution and cover. After 2-3 days, pack fish in smaller jars, add enough pickling solution to cover fish, then cover jars. Keep refrigerated at all times.
