    1 small onion, diced
    1/2 bell pepper, diced
    3 habaneros, diced

    Mix together all ingredients in a quart jar. Let sit at room temperature for at least 3 days. Strain off the fruit and store shrub in the fridge. Use in mocktails or cocktails. I like about an ounce in a glass of sparkling water.

    I love apricots and will definitely try the apricot rosemary jam. It looks delicious. Other than jam, I typically just freeze sliced apricot and use it in my homemade yogurt or smoothies. Also will use it in place of peaches for sweet tea. Yum! Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great weekend!

    Just curious if you’ve ever worked with Pomona’s Pectin?

    • @abbeyverigin
      @abbeyverigin  Рік тому

      Yes :) I use it for berry jams, I just made a batch of strawberry with it. I typically don’t use pectin for any jams/preserves I make with stone fruits
