I would love to do that. I had never heard of a shrub before either. It was really fun to learn about it. What other things did you make with your blueberries?

But I still haven't made them. Really must try them when there's so much fruit around. The recipes I have don't even cook the fruit nor vinegar, as far as I remember. Instead, the fruit is macerated. Very popular with cocktail mixers in New York and other cities, apparently.
