By Maria Noël Groves, RH (AHG)
Number of Servings
Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 large hand of fresh ginger root, clean and dry, thinly sliced
- 2 cups honey (16 oz by volume / 20 oz by weight)
Directions
- Warm ginger and honey in a large saucepan, stirring frequently, until small bubbles begin to form.
- Turn off the heat, let cool. Leave the lid off (at least until it is cool).
- Repeat this at least three times over several hours.
- After the last heating, strain the ginger through a fi ne mesh strainer, and pour the honey into glass containers.
- Once cool, check the viscosity. If it’s more watery than honey, keep it in the fridge and use within a couple of months. If it’s as thick or thicker than honey, it should be shelf stable for at least a year.
