Summer Fruit Shrub

I photographed Kim Severson's pretty summer fruit shrub for the New York Times a couple weeks ago. For those of you who may not be familiar with what a shrub is, it's a tart drinkable vinegar that is softened with sugar and plenty of time and then mixed with spirits, water or carbonated water.

It's very easy to make, great for summer and you can play around with different fruits, herbs and vegetables to switch up the flavor and make it either sweet or savory.
