2015: In today’s Seasonal Pantry, I explore shrubs, an increasingly popular category of beverage with history that extends back to pioneer days. You can read that column here.
In today’s Seasonal Pantry, which you can read here, I talk about apricots, with recipes for Chicken Kababs with Onions, Bacon, Apricots & Spicy Apple Cider Vinaigrette and Summer Bread Salad with Apricots and Warm Bacon-Maple Vinaigrette. I’ll post the promised photograph showing how to weave bacon onto a skewer late this afternoon or early evening.
In celebration of the fruit’s brief season, I’ve searched the archives for recipes using fresh apricots.
Apricot Shrub A shrub is a refreshing fruit drink that includes a fair amount of vinegar. Recently, locals have been introduced to shrubs at the new SHED. Shrubs are very easy to make at home and perfect when you have a lot of apricots.
