     Cut  cured  herring  into  two  fillets,  removing  the
backbone.   Spread  each  fillet with  mustard.   Roll  each
fillet  around  a dill pickle and fasten with  a  toothpick.
Pack the rolls on end in a crock.                           

     Mix together vinegar,  sliced onions, sugar and spices.
Simmer,  do not boil,  sauce for 45 minutes.  Strain out the
spices  and  onions  to pack among the layers  of  rollmops.
Cool the sauce and pour over fish to cover.   Allow to stand
2 to 3 days in refrigerator before using.   Rollmops  should
keep for several months.
