Note: Minaya uses Foro Amaro but says that a blend of 1/2 oz. Averna and 1/2 oz. Amaro Montenegro can be used in its place here.

Pear Shrub Add all of the ingredients except vinegar to a pot and place on medium-high heat. Stir consistently to incorporate the ingredients. After the sugar dissolves, allow the mixture to cool.
