Cinnamon-Apple Shrub
 

Cinnamon-Apple Shrub

"This shrub is a simple evocation of fall, with apples, cider vinegar and cinnamon. If you have an urge to push this one closer to a classic apple-pie flavor, a little nutmeg in addition to the cinnamon wouldn’t hurt."

SERVING SIZE

makes approximately 1 cup

INGREDIENTS

3 medium apples, quartered (no need to core or seed them)

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup turbinado sugar

2 cinnamon sticks

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Using a box grater or a food processor, shred apples.

Add shredded apples, cider vinegar, sugar and cinnamon to a nonreactive container. Cover and leave in cool place on the countertop for up to 2 days.

After 2 days, place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl. Strain apple mixture. Squeeze or press apple mixture to remove any remaining liquid.

Pour liquid into clean mason jar or glass bottle. Add lid or cap and then shake well to combine. Place in refrigerator. Discard solids. Shrub will keep for up to 1 year.
