2 salt herring fillets (about 8 oz.)
1 (16 oz.) jar or can pickled beets, drained & cubed
2 sm. apples, pared, cored & cubed
1 lg. potato, cooked, pared & cubed
1 tbsp. finely chopped onions
1/4 c. white vinegar
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. whipping cream

Rinse herring several times with cold water. Place in small bowl; cover with fresh cold water to remove saltiness. Let stand 2 to 3 hours, changing water frequently; drain. Remove skin and bones and discard.

Cut fish into bite-sized pieces. In large bowl carefully stir together herring, beets, apples, potato and onion. Stir together vinegar, sugar and pepper until sugar is dissolved. Pour over herring mixture. Cover and chill. Whip cream to soft peaks; fold into chilled herring mixture. Serve immediately. Makes 5 1/2 cups.
