I’ve gone through half the bottle now, not carmelized, but reduced and “mounted” with butter, and served with salmon, pork, and chicken. I’m so happy to be using it.

For this season.

This Oven Roasted shrub gastrique is mentioned in the book “Bitters and Shrub Syrup Cocktails: Restorative Vintage Cocktails, Mocktails”.
