This is a seriously authentically flavoured oil, which was utterly delicious as an accompaniment dip for my bourbon maple red onion and feta sourdough bread (yes, this infused bread was made with one of the balsamics). The smokiness was the perfect intense-level for me personally, and it brought my appetiser to a whole new level. One of your best!
Blackberry Mango Shrub
We adore the way tangy and juicy blackberries perfectly complement the sweet and aromatic Mango Fruit Vinegar. Our Mango Vinegar, made with a delightful combination of white balsamic, Pinot Grigio wine vinegar, and fresh mango puree, is heavenly in this shrub recipe. Mix it with your favorite rum or vodka and a neutral or citrusy seltzer for a fun and invigorating cocktail that will leave your taste buds joyful!
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh blackberries, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup Mango Fruit Vinegar.
Instructions
Place blackberries and sugar in a sealable container and stir to combine. Seal and place in the refrigerator for five days (up to 1 week), stirring every other day to ensure the sugar and fruit are well blended (the mixture should look juicy towards the end of the maceration time). Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl, pushing as much juice through the strainer as possible. Discard any fruity dregs left in the strainer. Add the vinegar to the bowl and whisk to combine. Pour the shrub into a clean jar, cover, and refrigerate for up to six months.
