Ingredients
1 medium Fuji apple, seeded and cubed
1 1/2 cups cranberries
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
15 sage leaves
Two 4- to 5-inch rosemary sprigs, needles only
3/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 lemon, rind only, scraped clean of pith
1 orange, rind only, scraped clean of pith
Prosecco, other sparkling wine or seltzer, for serving
Directions
Special equipment:
blender; quart-sized glass jar; cheesecloth- Puree the apple, cranberries, vinegar, sage and rosemary needles in a blender on high until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Place the sugar and lemon and orange rinds in a quart-sized glass jar and pour the puree over top.
- Tightly seal the lid and vigorously shake. Let sit in a cool, dark place for a week, turning the jar over once a day.
- Strain the shrub through a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a large bowl, pressing on the solids to release as much liquid as possible. Discard the leftover pulp and store in a clean, quart-sized glass jar.
- To serve, combine 1 ounce of the shrub with 3 ounces prosecco or other sparkling wine. For a no-alcohol treat, swap the prosecco with seltzer water.
