ClaireG Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 This chutney is fab. I always have to make loads of it as family and friends keep requesting it!! http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2645/pear-and-dried-apricot-chutney I also like grating a bit into stir fries.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 You can freeze it . Chop it into smaller bits then it's easy to peel & grate when you do need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Awww, I bet he came home looking all proud too I was going to suggest freezing it as well.If you mice it up in a food processor you can freeze little bits in an ice cube tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 well in his defence - it is a thimb sized piece - its just got the rest of the hand connected too I love ginger kev puts it in chinese food too (in fact kev seems to put it - and garlic - in most things ) what about ginger cake? ginger biscuits? freezing if is a good idea - ive done that too - i would probably peel the chunks before i froze them though well, at least you will be warm cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleleicesterfox Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 *imagining what egluntine's OH's thumb looks like* I was going to suggest freezing it as well! It does also keep for a long time without freezing, my veg box leaflet suggested 6 weeks (I didn't get the chance to verify this though as my DH threw the ginger out when he saw it in our box because he didn't know what it was...)

Egluntyne Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 *imagining what egluntine's OH's thumb looks like* *sprays tea all over screen* Thanks everyone. Some fab ideas there. I think I have enough ginger to try them all and have some left over to freeze! Honestly....it was the size of a baseball glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
