crystalized ginger
- Thread starter aseay
- Start date
At this time of year especially you should have no trouble finding it in the produce section of your grocery store or wherever they keep nuts and dried fruits. Also, try your local health food/specialty food stores. I live in San Diego and we have Trader Joe's which is where I buy mine. Otherwise, you can buy it online at Penzey's spices. Hope that helps...
Good Luck!

I see them in my grocery store in the spice/herb section. Also, you could make your own crystalized ginger. I've never made them but you can look at this site www.foodtv.com and see what they have. They're DELICIOUS!

Thanks!!!! I'm going to get the stuff and make these this weekend for "Special Grandparent's Christmas" (that's the special day that Santa comes to leave presents so kids can celebrate Christmas with their grandparents who leave for vacation on Christmas Day )
I didn't know Mrs. Fields had a cookbook. Might have to snag that one!
