Blueberry Shrub
by Eleanor Escafi, Board President
Ingredients:
12 ounces organic blueberries
1-1.5 cups organic white sugar
1 cup vinegar (I like apple cider vinegar but you can use red wine vinegar, whine wine vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, or unseasoned rice vinegar)
Instructions:
1. Gently mash berries into a medium bowl with a fork.
2. Transfer to a 1-quart glass jar with a lid, add sugar, and stir to combine.
3. Seal jar and let fruit mixture sit at room temperature for one day. Shake every so often.
4. Stain through a sieve or colander and eat or discard fruit pulp (I love it over vanilla ice cream)
5. Add vinegar to the blueberry syrup and stir to combine. Taste, and add more vinegar or sugar to preference.
6. Add to a clean jar, and cover with a lid. Allow flavors to meld over one week.
7. Serve 2 tablespoons over ice and top with club soda!
