About

I happen to be the sort of person who doesn’t limit gingerbread to the holidays, and while I would eat these year-round, there is something especially festive about all those sweet, exotic spices. If you chop your own candied ginger, spray the knife with a little nonstick vegetable spray to keep the ginger pieces from sticking, and then toss the chopped ginger with a little granulated sugar to keep the pieces separate.
