Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Chop it up and add to your sugar cookies or oatmeal cookies. That's what I do with it, or just eat it. It's tasty after dinner, settles the tummy. Donna genny_y2k <genny_y2k wrote: My niece sent to me a package of crystalized ginger and I am not familiar with it's use.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 mm yum Deanna, lucky lucky You can eat it like candy; it has a nice burn. If you have a favorite ginger cookie recipe it adds a lot of zip and is pretty too, all minced up in the dough. I like to put a little piece in when I make chai tea, then I don't need any sugar.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 mostly people just nibble it, but it can also be used wherever raisins & dates are used, like muffins, cookies, cakes, salads, etc. Kathleen genny_y2k <genny_y2k wrote: My niece sent to me a package of crystalized ginger and I am not familiar with it's use.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Beth, Short and sweet (lol) answer. So I tried putting one of those little ginger squares in my mouth and let it melt. Way yummy! Never too old to learn something new. I have been a Vegetarian for many years but I think I've been in a bit of a rut. I plan to use more spices and previously 'unknown' veggies in the future. Now to try curry and cardamon again.. Smiles and hugs Deanna , Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 wrote: > > snack food!!!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I was watching Good Eats the other night and Alton Brown was adding it to a batch of frozen yogurt he was making. Looked like a pretty decent recipe. I'll look it up and post it as soon as I find it. Hugs, Kim Owner Kims Sim Living Check out our sister sites, too!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 In digest #867, Deanna asked. " My niece sent to me a package of crystalized ginger and I am not familiar with it's use. I use fresh ginger root and have used dried ginger but never ginger in this form. Anyone have any good ideas? " ~ Hi Deanna. We just eat it here like it is right from the package. If i can get to it before my kids do then i like to chop it up to add into muffins, cookies, or sweet breads. It is just yummy stuff. Also, back about 9 years ago when we were moving out west from NY, we took the train across country....took three whole days! i would give it to myself and a nibble to my kids as well to help us when we'd feel a bit motion sick, so it sure settles the stomach and is great for road trips or train rides. ~ PT ~ Teaching is reminding others that they know it just as well as you. ~ Richard Bach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanna - I hope someone mentioned lemon scones - chop the ginger bits up fine-ish and mix them into the dough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 You buy it. Looks like this http://www.melissas.com/catalog/index.cfm?Product_id=667 & Info=NO I find it in the Asian markets for a few dollars a package. It's usually in the produce area. My grocery chain carries it too. I like to eat it after dinner and it's good in cookies too. Gene , " Andrea Robertson " <andreagall wrote: > > How do I make crystallized GINGER? > Thanks.
