Mango Sage Shrub
Ingredients
3 ripe mangoes, chopped
1 cup raw sugar
Juice of two limes
Zest of 1 lime
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
1 cup champagne vinegar
Method
Combine mango, sugar, lime juice, zest, salt and sage in a quart mason jar and shake vigorously. Place the lid on the jar and refrigerate for 4-5 days, shaking vigorously a few times a day. Make sure in the first day most the sugar has dissolved. You may need to stir the mixture with a spoon to help it dissolve. After 4-5 days, remove the jar, and strain with a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth, making sure to push on the solids, and extract all possible juice from them. Discard the solids, and add the juice back to the mason jar. Mix in the vinegar and chill.
