SUMMER FRUIT SHRUB

Summer Fruit Shrub image

Bruised apricots, smashed berries and or overripe pears are just some of the fruit that can be made into a shrub, a tart drinkable vinegar that is softened with sugar and time. The base needs to sit overnight, and the shrub, once it's all put together, mellows and changes with more time in the refrigerator. Herbs, peppercorns and vegetables can be added to the basic formula to create endless variations. Other vinegars may be substituted. When in doubt, apple cider vinegar is a good fall back.

Time P1DT10m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 pound unpeeled but pitted and chopped plums, apricots, peaches or other fruit
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup white wine vinegar

Steps:

Mix fruit and sugar in a glass or other nonplastic bowl, breaking apart or mashing the fruit to bring out its juices. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Stir the mixture well, add vinegar and chill. The shrub can be strained and used at this point, but it will take on more of the characteristics of the fruit if it sits for a few days. When ready to use, stir well to make sure sugar is dissolved, then strain using a fine sieve, pressing the solids to get all of the juice.
Pour the mixture into a clean Mason jar or funnel into a glass bottle with a stopper or cork.
To prepare a drink, add 1 part shrub to 2 or 3 parts seltzer or ginger beer and serve over ice.
