Ginger - heaps and heaps of the stuff.

[jellyjelly]

I have a bag full of ginger but not sure what I can do with it? Have made a dressing so far and i dont like ginger cake and we dont eat curry/dhals etc. . Not sure how to preserve it. Any ideas will be appreciated

Powdered ginger? You can freeze it to keep it fresh for longer.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

You can freeze it then just chop off what you need.
Jamie Oliver has a nice ginger beer recipe.
Do you like stir fries?

[supadupapupascupa]

A little in a stir fry is good. Or put some in some apples for a lovely pie filling. I would have thought you could freeze it....

[jellyjelly]

How do you powder the ginger, bad kitten? Can you freeze it whole, do i need to blanche it at all.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

oh if its whole ginger then just freeze it whole and grate what you need when you need it.

I always fancied making crystallised ginger . It is supposed to be very good for nausea so would make a great gift for a pregnant friend.

its used in my sweet and sour recipe (when i say 'my' i mean simon rimmers, and i have just made a marinade

i have frozen it and grated before too

i think you can freeze it grated in ice cube trays too
