A quarter cup could have meant anything from 3 to 6 pieces of
crystallized ginger sort of tossed in a glass measuring cup. It was a
recipe from Good Housekeeping Cookbook circa 1978. Sorry if you
translate 1/4 cup to a Holy Cow moment but I took it too mean a few pieces.

I used a couple of teaspoons of ground ginger and a couple of tsp. brown
(not white) sugar. It is not an incredibly sweet marinade.

I've never got fresh ginger on hand. I'd have to set out to buy it for
a specific reason. This marinade isn't one of them. But feel free!
