Fall Apple Shrub Recipe
Fall Apple Shrub
A simple evocation of autumn
Almost like an apple pie in a glass—perfectly refreshing on a crisp fall day spent raking leaves.
Ingredients
3 medium apples | quartered, core and all
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 turbinado sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 a nutmeg | cracked in half
5 allspice berries
Instructions
Step 1
Shred the apples using either a box grater or a food processor.
Step 2
In a nonreactive container combine all of the ingredients, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Cover and leave in a cool place for 2 days.
Step 3
When you are ready to strain, go ahead and place a fine-meshed strainer over a bowl. Strain the apple mixture, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible from the solids.
Step 4
Discard the solids and pour the shrub into a clean glass jar. Enjoy.
