Stem Ginger in Syrup is a sweet and spicy gourmet addition to baked goods and savory items. Needless to say, you could purchase this item at the grocery store. However, homemade is way better than anything you could purchase. Just chop a small stem piece and add to baked goods, Asian-style ribs, over ice cream. Believe it or not, the syrup can also be used in recipes. This delectable ingredient can last for over six months in the fridge. A quick and easy flavorful addition to any pantry. Furthermore, this is a small-batch recipe.Stem Ginger in syrup with three ginger pieces in front. A jar with syrup, carnations, coffee cup, and saucer with scones in background.

Stem Ginger in Syrup:

What is Stem Ginger in syrup? Stem ginger is preserved fresh ginger that has been peeled cut into 1-inch pieces and cooked in a simple syrup. Thereby giving it a sweet and spicy flavor. Indeed, the syrup it sits in infuses it with a high level of ginger flavor. A terrific addition to sweet and savory recipes. Simply chop a piece or two up to add to your recipes for baked goods. These chopped pieces will add a nice chewy bite of sweetness and spice to any recipe. The little bits and bites of stem ginger add a nice texture too. Use the syrup to top waffles or pancakes.

In fact, I often use some of the syrup to sweeten my tea. Not to mention, that ginger has many health benefits such as helping to relieve nausea, relieve muscle tenderness, and soreness.

Nevertheless, the hardest part about making the ginger is peeling it. Consequently, I have found using a large soup spoon works the best. At any rate, simply rub off the peel using the back of a spoon. Nonetheless, freezing the ginger ahead of time will make it easier to peel. Stem ginger goes a long way.

In conclusion, find Maple Sugar and Maple Syrup on Amazon.
