this weekend we were at a friends house that had a field of wild blackberries that were just starting to ripen. while picking some berries i also found a little grove of wild plums that were ripe as well. we picked a bunch and made a delicious shrub when we got home. it has been the perfect drink to sip on through these hot hot days that are upon us.

1 cup (more or less to taste) apple cider vinegar
