Ginger Honey
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
  1. Warm ginger and honey in a large saucepan, stirring frequently, until small bubbles begin to form.
  2. Turn off the heat, let cool. Leave the lid off (at least until it is cool).
  3. Repeat this at least three times over several hours.
  4. After the last heating, strain the ginger through a fi ne mesh strainer, and pour the honey into glass containers.
  5. 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.
