COUSIN BELLES PICKLED HERRING IN SOUR CREAM By Paula Klausner, Beth El - The Beaches Synagogue
My cousin was not one to share recipes though I had asked for many years. Finally, in 1995 during Rosh Hashanah, she gave me the recipe on a card. She said, "I know you always wanted to get this and you thought I would just die and not give it to you, but I love you and want to share it with you in person while I still can." Shortly after, she went into hospice. So, this is a very special recipe for me, with many wonderful memories!
