[drloves]

Online shopping delivered today and discovered ive got around a pound of ginger , what do i do with it all?
does it freeze?
theres only so much thai curry i can eat so need some ideas.
please

Peel it and freeze it. Then you can grate/chop as needed

Rhubarb and ginger jam :-)

Ginger jam?
Ginger pickle (for curries)?
Could you bottle some of it in syrup to use for puddings/ice-cream?

I get through a lot of ginger making tea too - just chop some up and add to boiling water with a bit of lemon juice and honey. Much nicer than commercial ginger teas.

yipeee ! it does freeze !
can i grate it before i freeze?

ginger pickle sounds good.
ginger tea - love it but never knew how to make it , thanks steamedtreaclesponge.
rubarb and ginger jam sounds lush - how do you make it?

I can't see why not, although I find it easier to grate from frozen.

ha ha thought this was an anti red head thread

It is much easier to grate it when frozen than when fresh so I always peel it, cut into 1 inch chunks and stck in freezer.

I've frozen it successfully before. Peeled, and in lumps.

i freeze it as it is, and just break off what I need.

lol ronaldinhio .
THANKS EVERYONE !

You don't need to peel it before you freeze it. Just freeze it as is then grate what you need off the whole chunk when you need it.
