how is this used?

One of the world's largest ginger processing plants is near
me in Australia. The site has lots of usage & cooking tips.

I prefer the top quailty crystallised ginger which is
just made with sugar & eaten whole. You can also get
ginger dipped in chocolate. Its also used in jams/jellies
& in cakes.

thank you!

**When I was young we used to go 'skinny dipping'. Now I
just 'chunky dunk'.

Do you mean the dry sort in powdered sugar or the one in
thick syrup?

If it is the dry sort it is just a confection, eat it with
both hands.

For the syrupy sort I find a fork is best. Stab a chunk then
slide into the mouth, suck off the syrup and then chew
slowly..aaaaahhhhhhhhhh.

The syrupy sort is more versatile, it can also be used
sliced thinly as a garnish on desserts or added to baked
puddings. Do NOT throw away the syrup when you have eaten
the ginger. It can be eaten over icecream or made into a
ginger ale by adding soda water.

For ginger heaven icecream use BOTH the sliced ginger and
the syrup on top of your favourite vanilla icecream. The
Buderim ginger company makes a sauce that is this mixture
pre-prepared and made a little thicker - incomparable.

I could go on about ginger all day .....

I eat it as candy. And I do not have to be concerned that
someone will take it all.

Me too. You can keep chocolate - unless it covers ginger.

mmmm....I adore candied ginger. I live on the Gold Coast,
Qld, and am thankful the Buderim Ginger shop is not
near by -- otherwise I would have a serious addiction!
I make a beautiful winter dessert of steamed individual
pudding with bunya nuts and ginger. Yum.

I've choppped it into very fine pieces and mixed it with
homemade granola; it gives the sweet granola a bit of a
bite. I've added it to banana bread with very good results.
I've layered it at the bottom of blueberry pie - yummy!

I add it pear pies and crisps. Adds a nice zing.
