Sweet Ginger Custard

This creamy smooth and light custard is enlivened by the zest of preserved ginger. This is, in fact, a blend of East and West that works very well. It can be served warm or cold and is a delightful finish to any meal. Make this custard in great quantities because it retains its flavours nicely and one never tires of it. Do not use the Chinese preserved ginger sold in jars with syrup, as it is too strong for this recipe and will overpower the custard.
