| I think the other vinegar-based beverage is "switchel" - see topic 2978
for some discussion of that. (The "raspberry shrub" sounds pretty
tasty; and it _is_ just the weather for experimenting with cooling
beverages!)

Raspberry Shrub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raspberry shrub mixed with cold spring water makes a pure, delicious
summertime drink.
2 lb. raspberries (about 4 pints)
2 cups vinegar (approx.)
8 cups sugar (2 cups sugar for each 2 cups of raspberries)
Put the raspberries in a non-reactive pan and pour in vinegar to
scarcely cover berries. Add sugar. Bring to a boil, skim and let it
cool. Strain and bottle the liquid. The syrup can be safely
refrigerated for about a month, but must be used within two weeks after
a bottle is opened.

| Just want to let you know that I picked raspberries at the
Durocher Farm in Litchfield on Sunday and again last evening.
They are wonderful. Thanks for your recipe.... I remember
my mom doing the same thing. I freeze them in 1 qt. pkgs.
and I use them for filled cookes. You need to simmer the
berries w/sugar and corn starch and render it down to the
consistency of a filling. I alsohave another recipe to make
Raspberry Mousse tobe spread on Chocolate Shells. These are
made by covering clam shells with foil and painting them with
white and chocolate - chocolate. Put in freezer. Separate
and remove foil. Place the mousse in the cups. Very nice
for holidays. I'll bring in the Mousse recipe soon.
We were told that we would only be able to pick raspberries
for another week or ten days.
By the way, at Durocher's - they will pick again in September.
The berries are $1.75/pt. and they are $3.95/pint at the
stands. Happy berrying and eating !!!!1

| What kind of vinegar do you use in the shrub? I presume either white
or cider vinegar? What's best?

| If I were to attempt this, I'd use white vinegar, rather than cider.
I would think the cider flavor might interfere with the delicate
raspberry fragrance/flavor.
