Ginger Anytime

Now and then I run across a recipe idea that requires ginger and not the powdered kind. A lot of times I would reject a recipe that required ginger because I really didn't want to buy and have to throw away the unused portion. Then I ran across this tip.

Buy fresh ginger, chop in a food processor and place in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Pour enough sherry over your ginger to cover, screw on the lid and put into the refrigerator. If you run low on ginger or sherry, just add more. The ginger keeps indefinitely! Now I can always have ginger on hand and stop rejecting those recipes that sound so good.

This also makes a nice gift for the cook on your Christmas list.
