Ginger

[rhiannon1234]

I have a recipe that requests I use Ginger Puree. I have been to Tesco, Asda & Waitrose, nobody stocks ginger puree. They do stock a ginger paste in sunflower oil or white wine vinegar - I would use the sunflower oil 1 - is this the same thing?
Alternatively should I use fresh ginger & just use a little less than recipe suggests?

Seems to sugeest you just mash up some ginger...

So from the supermarket, it would be in oil/vinegar to be preserved (probably with additional stabilisers/preservatives).

This seems to be as above http://store.indianfo...Desc.cfm?ItemId=IFU16

Just grate some fresh ginger ......MUCH cheaper!

PS-it can be frozen!

I always freeze my fresh ginger. Makes it so much easier to grate and of course can be kept for ages

I can get Ginger Purée in my 'foreign foods' aisle at the supermarket maybe that's where you'll find it.
