3-Ingredient Apple Shrub Recipe
Transform grated apples into a delicious apple shrub, fermented with apple cider vinegar to become a lightly tart and sweet syrup. Use it in cocktails and mocktails for elevated flavor - goes especially well with bourbon.
Yield: 12 ounces
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups grated SweeTango or Honeycrisp apples
- 3/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 cup raw apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Add apples, sugar, and apple cider vinegar to a glass mason jar. Attach jar cover tightly and shake liberally.
- Refrigerate and let sit for 2-3 days.
- Remove from refrigerator and strain juice into a large bowl, then squeeze remaining juice out of apples using a colander.
- Pour juice into a glass container and keep refrigerated. Use in cocktails and mocktails. Will stay good for up to 4 months if stored properly in refrigerator.
Notes
Typically the fruit/sugar ration in shrubs is 1:1, but because the apples were so naturally sweet, I went lighter on the sugar.
