How To Make Pear-Ginger Shrub
Ripe pears and ginger are tossed together and rested for days to make this pear-ginger shrub. It’s blended with apple cider then served with club soda.

Ingredients
- 2lbsripe pears,(about 4 medium)
- 1½cupssugar
- fresh ginger with skin,(1-inch piece), grated
- 1½cupsapple cider vinegar
- 4ozclub soda,chilled, to serve
Instructions
-
Chop pears, with skin, into ½-inch dice. Don’t worry if a stray fiber or seed gets in; it will all get strained out later.
-
Combine pears with the sugar in a nonreactive container (glass or plastic), tossing the pears to evenly coat them and lightly crushing them. Add the ginger.
-
Cover the pear and ginger mixture with a tea towel and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 48 hours, stirring the mixture twice during this period.
-
After the resting period, strain through a fine strainer into a jar or bottle that can accommodate an additional 1½ cups of liquid. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and stir to combine.
-
Seal the jar and refrigerate for 10 days, after which it is ready to use. The shrub will keep for up to 6 months refrigerated.
-
To serve, combine 1 ounce of the Pear-Ginger Shrub with 3 to 4 ounces of chilled club soda. Stir gently to combine.
