16. Pickled Ginger

I know it is a cabbage site but ginger is good against cancer too. So here it is. This one is from "Ginger" by Lou Seibert Pappas. (Sorry no photos I cannot find one.)
It is a very simple recipe and I am thinking that using this recipe I could be enticed into making some ginger and eating it!

4 ounces fresh young ginger peeled
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup rice vinegar
1 tsp salt

Using a sharp knife slice ginger (against the grain so as to cut the fiber) as thin as possible. Place in bowl, pour boiling water to cover. Let stand for 2 minutes and drain.

In saucepan bring sugar with vinegar and salt to a boil. Stir and take off heat as soon as sugar has dissolved. Pour over giger. Let cool and transfer to glass jar.

Refrigerate for one day before using. Can keep for several months.
