I read, in this group, where "crystalized ginger" is soooo expensive.
It is?

I bought 1/2lb of home-made crystalized ginger for one dollar.
Safeway sells it during 'The Holidays" as a fruitcake ingredient. I'm
sure I still have a container.

I been using 'un-ground' ginger (appears to be made of real ginger cut
into chunks, which are then dried) and putting it in my whirly-bird
coffee/spice grinder to provide a "ground ginger" pwdr. Not real
enthused about using this type o' ginger. I'd rather use pickled
ginger (sushi ginger), which I add to my blueberry + 'whatever else',
pies. Works great! Gives blueberries some flavor (which they sorely
lack!).
