Only once in my life was I served stem ginger after dinner in an elegant home in Scotland with the dining room walls covered in the family tartan. The host carefully moved a Chinese blue and white ginger jar to the table and bought out tiny blue and white dishes. He then used a long thin ladle to serve a small round ball of stem ginger into each small dish. Oh my - what a treat this was, as was the ceremony of serving it. Here it is at last for you to enjoy. A classic after-dinner treat served in the finest homes, stem ginger in syrup from Opies. Ginger is a natural digestive, and the sugar syrup makes it so sweet and delicious. You may not need a whole ball yourself, but those in the know will adore this at your next dinner party. 9.8 oz jar has 5.2 ounces of ginger. Hard to count the individual balls, but it looks like ten or more inside. You can also use this as an ingredient in baking or cooking, like a stir-fry. Once opened, store in your refrigerator and use within 8 weeks, Imported from England.
