Ingredients
1cupwhite wine vinegaror apple cider vinegar
zest of 1 limejust the zest
1 ½cupraspberries
1cupsugarI used ½ cup of Truvia*
Instructions
Add all of the ingredients to a pot and heat to medium high.
Once the mixture is boiling and sugar is melted, mix well and simmer for 20 minutes and it starts to thicken.
Strain into a bottle and refrigerate until ready to use.
Will last for a week in the refrigerator.
Notes: If you want to make this sugar free you can use a sugar substitute to equal 1 cup of white sugar. I used Truvia which required only ½ cup.
You can substitute different fruits, vinegars and sugars for those here if you have a favorite combination.
For dressing try 1 tablespoon of shrub + 1 tablespoon of oil + juice of 1 lime. Taste and adjust accordingly.
For a refreshing drink: 2 tablespoons of shrub to 1 glass of seltzer or soda water.
For a cocktail: 1-2 tablespoons of shrub + vodka or gin + soda water (this would also make a great margarita with tequila and lime juice).
