Wild Island | Cherry Vinegar, 250Ml

Product Information

The cherries get soaked in vinegar to extract the flavours, then sugar is added. The resulting syrup-like shrub keeps for ages in the fridge, and you can process/can it to preserve it for several years. There is also a fresh fruit version, which is not cooked, but I prefer the cooked method I've shown you here, as the shrub keeps for much longer. It enables me to preserve the summer bounty of fruit to use (or gift) all year long.

Add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of organic sugar, per half gallon jar, and fill with water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. 4) Cover Palomino: Most sherry vinegar is produced from wines which were made from the Palomino grape. The wine being used to produce the vinegar can be young wine or can be a wine which has already aged. That’s the main difference between a simple fruit press and an apple cider press. For large volumes of homemade apple cider vinegar, consider a double-barrel apple cider press.
