How to Store Ginger

Ginger is a tender perennial. Some consider it an herb and others consider it a spice. Either way, ginger does not freeze well, so this way of keeping ginger fresh will make it last a very long time, if refrigerated.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Fresh ginger
• Knife
• Glass jar with lid
• Sherry
• Label

1. Wash the ginger with the papery cover on.

2. Slice ginger into thin slices.

3. Place ginger slices in jar.
   Cover ginger with sherry.

4. Cover jar with lid.
   Label and refrigerate.

Tips & Warnings

• Add some of the ginger sherry to some of your dishes when cooking.
• You can peel the papery covering off if you like, but this is optional.
• Choose fat, full ginger hands with well defined eyes and avoid shriveled ginger hands.
