  1. This turned out to be easier than I thought and believe this is going to sit pretty with all my dinner meals as long as the bottle lasts. Too good as it compliments a typical Indian meal so well. :-))) Mini
     
  2. Great recipe - couldn't wait , so I sampled a piece every day but it does need at least a week to mature. No more bought expensive pickled gingerfor me - Thanks 1Steve
     
  3. You don't know how impressed I am with this recipe! It is just too easy to make and has a great extra-fresh taste you don't get with the store bought pickled ginger. I'm having sushi tonight, just as an excuse to eat this ginger!!
     
  4. I ran this through the cuisinart and used it as a salad dressing. It was awesome, inexpensive and really, really, easy.
     
  5. This didn't work as well for me as it did for the other reviewers. Perhaps my ginger was too old, but the flavor was still extremely sharp even after a week and a half.
