Strawberry with spicy ginger is such a refreshing combination for a hot day. Shrubs can also be refreshing for a day on the mountain après ski. We like to take our shrubs to the snow and make snow cones out of them! Is that too much fun?
This recipe is a good example of how you can make a shrub by first extracting the juice from the fruit by macerating it overnight with sugar. You can do this for any bush berries or stone fruits and the syrup that you extract will be extremely condensed, pure, and powerful. You need to use a certain amount of sugar with this technique to extract the juice from the fruit.
