Recipe Notes

  • I prefer to use organic, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar "with the mother." Favorite brand to use is Bragg.
  • Both traditional balsamic vinegar and the thicker balsamic vinegar glaze can be used interchangeably in this recipe. 
  • The longer the shrub steeps in the fridge, the "mellow" and less tart the vinegar flavor will be.
