This glaze gives the grapefruit a gingery kick in the Asparagus & Gingered Grapefruit Salad, but it lasts indefinitely and makes a great base for iced or hot tea. It’s also terrific with seltzer water (use about 1/4-cup glaze to 1 cup seltzer and serve cold), so feel free to double the recipe.Yields scant 1 cup.
ingredients
3/4 cup roughly chopped or sliced and smashed fresh ginger (from about 6 oz. ginger)
Grated zest of 4 small or 3 large limes
3/4 cup tarragon vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
how to make
Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors. Bring back to a boil and repeat the process. Bring back to a boil for a third time, let cool to room temperature, strain through a coarse sieve, cover, and refrigerate.
