Zingiber officinale

Ginger can be one of the most enriching flavors in holiday baking. Ginger snaps are the obvious choice but try slipping some into salad dressings, meat rubs, and barbeque sauces to keep everyone guessing. Classic jerk seasonings from the Caribbean are heavy in heat so the relatively mild bite of ginger is a nice balance in sauces from the region.
