We like herrings. Everybody except for my son, but he basically doesn't like anything so I don't care about it. We like traditional herrings with onion the most, but every year for Christmas Eve I try to prepare a new herring dish. This year, thanks to www.igraszkilosu.pl we had orange-cranberry herrings with chili pepper and rosemary on our table. Preparing this meal only takes a little while. The most difficult thing is waiting. You have to leave the herrings in the fridge for the whole night. I have to say it is worth the wait. The herrings are gentle but definitely smell nice and are tasty with the orange and slightly sour cranberries. A smattering of chili pepper, which isn't in the original recipe, spices them up nicely.

Ingredients:
4 pieces of herring in oil
100g of fresh cranberries
orange peel
juice of 2 oranges
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 red onion
1 chili pepper
125ml of oil
1 twig of rosemary

Slice the herrings into 2-cm pieces. Put the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, sliced chili pepper and rosemary into a saucepan and boil until the cranberries start bursting. Leave to cool down. Slice the onion. Remove the cranberries from the cool sauce. Pour gradually the oil onto the cranberry sauce, stirring constantly until you make a smooth consistency. Put a few rings of the red onion, a few pieces of herring, a couple of cranberries and a bit of orange peel into the bottom of a jar. Add 3-4 tablespoons of the sauce. Repeat by adding more layers until you have no ingredients left. Pour the rest of the sauce on the top. Close the jar and leave in the fridge for the whole night.

Enjoy your meal!
