Traffic seems to pick up around here leading up to Valentine's Day so I thought I would post a special romantic recipe just for the occasion.Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 pound white chocolate, chopped
1. In a medium saucepan, combine cream, 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, ground ginger and fresh ginger. Cook over medium heat, watching to make sure it doesn’t bubble up, until heated through.
2. Put white chocolate in a ceramic fondue pot. Pour in hot cream and whisk until chocolate melts. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger over top. Keep warm over a low flame for dipping. If it begins to boil, turn off heat. Makes about 3 cups; 8 to 10 servings.
