Shrub Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Combine Fruit and Sugar

    In a bowl, combine the chopped fruit and granulated sugar. Mix well and let it sit for about 1-2 hours to allow the fruit to release its juices.

  3. 3

    Add Vinegar and Water

    After the fruit has released some juices, add the apple cider vinegar and water to the mixture. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Macerate the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a clean jar or bottle. Seal it tightly and let it sit in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, shaking the jar gently once a day.

  5. 5

    Strain the Shrub

    After 3-5 days, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another clean jar or bottle, discarding the solids.

  6. 6

    Store and Serve

    Seal the shrub and store it in the refrigerator. It can be used as a mixer for cocktails or added to sparkling water for a refreshing drink.
