Oh what I wouldn't do for a wedge of that and a cup of hot tea! Shortbread is my favorite cookie. I have always wanted to make recipes with crystallized ginger but am reluctant due to the cost of the ingredient. What is the life span of crystallized ginger in a jar? It should be good for about a year. It may harden in that amount of time, but the baking will soften it up. Molly @ KAF
