Shrub update: the two I've made so far are pretty great. The apple spice is a little mellower than the blackberry - possibly due to the fact that the blackberry has some apple cider vinegar in it, as well as plain white vinegar. I think I'd like more bite to the apple, but the spices and the brown sugar in it worked really well. Next time I make it, I might change up the vinegar content. (And make more of it - I only used one apple and so only ended up with about 1 1/4 cups of shrub. That is too little of something so delicious.)

Today, I am making shrub #3: balsamic grape. ( Details. )

So we'll see how that goes.
