1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white wine
1 tbsp. pickling spice (in cheesecloth)
1/2 c. water

Boil together for five minutes; cool and add 1 1/2 cups white vinegar. Slice 2 small or 1 large onion in thin slices and place alternating layers of fish in jars. Sprinkle a little salt on fish as you put them in jars. Add solution which is well stirred. Cover tightly and let stand 48 hours or more. Turn jars upside down occasionally. Do not pack too tight and do not boil fish.
