This is a refreshing nonalcoholic drink that uses a shrub (drinking vinegar) from Little Apple Treats, which can be found on Saturdays at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. To make your own pickled cherries, soak the cherries in apple cider vinegar for 1 week, drain, then soak in simple syrup with 1 vanilla bean for 1 week.
