Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the raspberries and sugar.
Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the raspberries to release their juices and mix them evenly with the sugar.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.
After 24 hours, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Add the apple cider vinegar to the raspberry syrup, and stir to combine thoroughly.
Pour the raspberry shrub into a clean, sterilized glass bottle or jar with a lid. Seal tightly and refrigerate.
Allow the shrub to rest in the refrigerator for at least 3-5 days before using to let the flavors meld. Serve by mixing 1-2 tablespoons of the shrub with soda water, or use it as a tangy addition to cocktails.
