|  |     I think the other vinegar-based beverage is "switchel" - see topic 2978
    for some discussion of that. (The "raspberry shrub" sounds pretty
    tasty; and it _is_ just the weather for experimenting with cooling
    beverages!)

    Raspberry Shrub
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Raspberry shrub mixed with cold spring water makes a pure, delicious
    summertime drink.
    
    2 lb. raspberries (about 4 pints)
    2 cups vinegar (approx.)
    8 cups sugar (2 cups sugar for each 2 cups of raspberries)
    
    Put the raspberries in a non-reactive pan and pour in vinegar to
    scarcely cover berries.  Add sugar.  Bring to a boil, skim and let it
    cool.  Strain and bottle the liquid.  The syrup can be safely
    refrigerated for about a month, but must be used within two weeks after
    a bottle is opened.

|  |     Just want to let you know that I picked raspberries at the
    Durocher Farm in Litchfield on Sunday and again last  evening.
    They are wonderful.  Thanks for your recipe....  I remember
    my mom doing the same thing.   I freeze them in 1 qt. pkgs.
    and I use them for filled cookes.  You need to simmer the
    berries w/sugar and corn starch and render it down to the
    consistency of a filling.  I  alsohave another recipe to make
    Raspberry Mousse tobe spread on Chocolate Shells.  These are
    made by covering clam shells with foil and painting them with
    white and chocolate - chocolate.  Put in freezer.  Separate
    and remove foil.   Place the mousse in the cups. Very nice
    for holidays. I'll bring in the Mousse recipe soon.
    
    We were told that we would only be able to pick raspberries
    for another week or ten days.  
    
    By the way, at Durocher's - they will pick again in September.
    The berries are $1.75/pt. and they are $3.95/pint at the
    stands.          Happy berrying and eating !!!!1

|  |     What kind of vinegar do you use in the shrub?  I presume either white
    or cider vinegar?  What's best?

|  |     If I were to attempt this, I'd use white vinegar, rather than cider. 
    I would think the cider flavor might interfere with the delicate
    raspberry fragrance/flavor.
