pickled salted herring from Sweden

Bring the vinegar, water, and sugar to a boil and let it cool; the sugar should be completely dissolved. Layer the herring and chopped vegetables in a lidded jar, adding a little of the spices to each layer. Once all the ingredients are in the jar, pour in the cold marinade; it should cover the entire jar. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 days.
