"Kick it up a notch" by adding chopped pickled ginger to final product. Tumeric is new to my spice cabinet and I'm glad I used it here. Taste improves with aging. Thanks.

- chopped, didn't grind - made full batch - tastes great - next time will use less sugar, maybe 3 or 4 cups

I cut the recipe in half. Great Recipe. I think it would work nice with chicken or pork.
