Make fresh ginger last

March 29, 2008 by Marc Matsumoto Leave a Comment

Fresh ginger in vodka

Fresh ginger is great, but it's something I don't use all the time and it usually goes bad or dries out by the time I want to use it again. Since I almost always use it in cooked food, I've found a good way to preserve it.

Just peel and cut up the ginger, put it in a sealed container and cover it with vodka. It will keep in the fridge forever. When you cook it the alcohol burns off so you can't tell the difference and you also get some ginger infused vodka out of it that you can use for cooking or for drinking:-)

This recipe first appeared on norecipes.com but due to its age I've moved it here to my personal recipe archive. Check out the full No Recipes Archives for more older recipes, or check out some of my favorite recipes.

Welcome!

I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
