Preserved ginger is ginger that has been peeled, then cooked in and preserved in a sugar syrup.
The ginger is usually chopped and used in desserts. The sugar syrup will have a good ginger taste to it and can be used to drizzle over things such as fruit and ice cream. You can also add soda water to some syrup to make a Ginger Ale-like soft drink.
Also known as Stem Ginger.
