Canning fruit shrubs

Hi! I was pointed in the direction of making a fruit shrub last week. I decided to try out a grapefruit shrub. Tasted it today and it’s delicious. I did reach out to my extension office to see if there is any safe way to can shrubs since I couldn’t find any info. I wanted to share what she said 🙂

Copy pasting her text here:
Thank you for contacting Extension. You are correct in that there is no official direction on processing times for shrubs (which are delicious by the way😊). My colleague Jenna Smith and I conferred and we feel that as long as you use vinegar that is 5% acidity you are perfectly safe to process the shrub for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath or if you sterilize the jars https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can/general-information/sterilization-of-empty-jars#gsc.tab=0 you can process them for 5 minutes

Thanks again for contacting Extension—if you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me directly. Good luck with your shrubs!
