Strawberry-Peppercorn-Balsamic Shrub

Very soft strawberries picked at Swanton Berry Farm, cold-macerated with sugar to extract the juices and flavors, then strained and mixed with peppercorns and a mix of balsamic and cider vinegar for a few weeks before a second straining. An excellent batch– intense strawberry flavor with a tart kick, delicious splashed into soda water on a hot day.
