Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups sweet cherries, stemmed and pitted
  • 1 1/2 cups of Brightland Rapture Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup white wine or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • Place cherries in a bowl and lightly crush using a potato masher or fork. Transfer cherries and their juices to a clean quart jar.
  • Combine the Rapture Balsamic Vinegar and white wine vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat just to a boil and pour it into the jar, making sure the cherries are submerged.
  • Store the jar in a cool, dark place (like a pantry, cupboard, or refrigerator) for at least 2 days and up to 2 weeks, shaking daily. The longer it infuses, the stronger the flavors will be.
  • To make a non-alcoholic soda, combine 1 part shrub with 6 parts sparkling water. Taste and adjust quantities as desired.
  • Store the shrub in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
