Blackberry Shrub ingredients<\/p>\n
440 gms of blackberries
\n400 gms of sugar
\n475ml of apple cider vinegar<\/p>\n
In a large 2 litre preserving jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine berries and sugar. Mash berries well. Set in the fridge for 2 days, checking and swirling fruit occasionally, until sugar has dissolved. After 2 days and once sugar has dissolved, pour in the vinegar, shake and swirl everything together, and set in the fridge another 5 \u2013 10 days. Check mixture each day and give everything a good stir. As you approach the five-day mark, start to taste the mixture \u2013 once the vinegar and sweetness have melded and mellowed to your liking, strain the mixture through a sieve and discard the berries. Pour the strained syrup into a clean and sterilised bottle with a close-fitting lid. Store in the fridge for up to three weeks.<\/p>\n
