Turn fall's apple harvest into a tart, sweet, and crisp drinking vinegar with this easy shrub recipe. Made with just 3 ingredients: freshly grated apples, apple cider vinegar, & organic sugar. Great mixer for a hot toddy, or w/ tea to ease a cold.
The recipe makes a thick, syrupy vinegar - similar to a sweet & sticky balsamic glaze or shrub/'drinking vinegar'. It's an interesting sweet, spicy & savoury addition to so many dishes - from a dash or 2 in a meat marinade to a goats cheese salad.
This Fizzy lime and blackberry shrub is refreshingly crisp, loaded up with lots of plump blackberries, crunchy basil and fresh lime, topped off with some tequila or gin & soda water. A great way to preserve Summer fruit through the Fall months!
This sweet-sour, cream-soda-esque beverage is uniquely refreshing, particularly on hot summer days. I encourage you to have some fun with it and adjust the proportions to your preference.
Simple, sweet and refreshing! Extend the farmer's market treasures, home grown harvests or CSA deliveries by preserving them as a Sparkling Rhubarb Shrub (aka drinking vinegar). Pairs perfectly with good tequila, fresh mint and soda.
Capture summer in a bottle and make this cherry shrub that can be used to liven up a cocktail, fizzy water, or even dessert (vanilla ice cream comes to mind).
