Cold-Processed Shrub

Directions

1. 1
   {"0":"Place berries or fruit in bowl. Cover with sugar and stir.","2":"Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator until juice exudes from fruit and starts to combine with sugar to form syrup. This may take only 5 or 6 hours, or it may need a couple of days. A longer maceration won't harm anything, so feel free to leave it in fridge longer than it might need.","4":"Strain syrup from fruit. Press lightly on solids to express any remaining juice\/syrup. Scrape remaining sugar into syrup.","6":"Add vinegar and whisk to combine.","8":"Pour through funnel into clean bottle. Cap and shake vigorously, and mark date on bottle. Store in refrigerator.","10":"Check periodically. Some sugar may remain undissolved for up to a few days. Shake to combine. After about a week, acids in juice and vinegar should dissolve sugar entirely."}
