Thread: using ginger liqueur in place of fresh ginger

  1. #1

    Talking using ginger liqueur in place of fresh ginger

    Is anyone cooking with ginger liqueur? I've begun to utilize it more in dishes calling for ginger because I can't often find good fresh ginger in my area.

    Please share with me your comments and info on the best brand to use.

    lol

    I see you enjoy ginger, I have never cooked with this liqueur, I am able to get fresh ginger by me. How sweet is it? also what kinds of recipes are you substituting it into?

    I do not use a ginger liqueur, but I wanted to let you know that you can keep fresh ginger in the freezer for many months if you wrap it tightly. I scrape off the peeling and just freeze it. I have had it for 6 months or so. When you need fresh ginger, just take it out and grate off the amount you need. Do not thaw. I use a microplane, and it works quite well. Then put the unused portion back in the freezer.

    Thank you for your response. I've been using domaine de canton in soups and also as a glaze on cakes and petit filet. The flavor is strong, but not overpowering. Its a great deglaze. I defintely recommend trying it.
