Hi, Asharon,
Do you mean the preserved ginger that comes in jars of syrup ? QUOTE]


hi yes that's the one i would like. thanks for your receipie though

I've been vaguely looking for this recipe for years. Someone pointed out to me that this is STEM ginger, and the stuff we buy normally is ROOT ginger, so I stopped looking. Does this help at all, or have I been too defeatist? (sorry if it sounds too basic, but it was enlightenment to me! )

I've just found one that may work.
