COOKING WITH FRESH GINGER

Ginger comes in a large root form and can be found in the produce section of most grocery stores.

Typically recipes only ask for a teaspoon and after you are done cooking you are left with more than you used.

To store the unused portion of ginger, wrap it in waxed paper and place in a plastic bag.

Write the date on the bag with a marker and place in the freezer.

When you are cooking, you can remove the ginger from the freezer, cut off the amount that you need and re-freeze the remaining.

Frozen, Ginger should keep for 3-4 months.
