Ginger has been used as a natural remedy for many ailments
for centuries. It helps treat cancer, migraines, morning sickness, morning or
motion sickness and helps with diabetic nephropathy. Ginger is akin to a wonder
drug in herbal medicine and is even supposed to good reducing flatulence.
I make Asian, Chinese, and Thai dishes often so I use a fair
amount of ginger. It would be terrific to grow ginger but it is doubtful the
plants would survive my boxer. She thinks of herself as the champion digger of North Carolina.

Ginger stores in a dry dark space fairly well but I have
found that preserving it sliced not only is effective but also insures a steady
supply at the drop of a hat. I make syrup of sugar, water, and cider vinegar,
which I refrigerate. When the acidulated mixture is cooled, simply slice the
ginger with a very sharp knife and place them in a wide mouth mason jar. The
amount of sugar does not matter. Some salt is ok, add it if you like only use kosher
salt (without iodine). Fill the jar so all the ginger is covered. Store in the refrigerator
and use when needed.
