a resource directory of websites and addresses that may be valuable to
entrepreneurs when production of village ginger increases.
• Put together a chart on the various ginger products available on the
international market and where they are sold.
• Collect information on sale price of raw ginger via the Internet so as to
calculate the international market price.
• Collected recipes and put together a booklet for the use of entrepreneurs so
that they may be able to further the processing of ginger and create a local
market for alternative ginger products.

Limitations

• Wide market and not all industries and retail shops use websites or provide
email addresses.
• Not able to visit all existing retailers and wholesalers.
• May not get accurate information due to the fact that most stores do not
accurately document their trade.

Introduction

History of Ginger

Ginger is a member of the Zingiberaceae family and it originated in South-East Asia.

It grows best in tropical areas that have high rainfall and hot and humid conditions.
Ginger was introduced to Europe by Dutch, Portuguese, Arab and Spanish explorers
or traders from about the 13th to the 16th century. The name ‘ginger’ is derived from
the sanskrit word ‘Srngaveram’ which means ‘horn root’. In South East Asia the
most popular form of ginger is raw ginger. It is grated or finely chopped then added
to the meal not long before serving. Ginger adds to the flavour of a meal creating a
fresh, spicy pungent taste which is now becoming a valued commodity all over the
world. It is revered as one of the most important and valued spices of the world.

Ginger is now used in many different ways and is a complement to many different
dishes and flavours. It complements coconut milk curries, lemon grass and gravy. It
can be used raw, fried, dried, pickled or as a juice and is a favourite in tea and ale.
Ginger is now grown as a cash crop in Africa and Latin America and has entered
many local cuisines. Recently it has been introduced in a crystallized form creating a
type of sweet appropriate for dessert or snack. This form of ginger is very popular in
the western world and is a great way to value-add to the product.

(Please refer to Annex 1 for various ginger products)

Medicinal Value

For over 5000 years ginger has been recognised as the “universal medicine” by the
ancient Orientals of China and India. Today ginger remains a component of more
than 50% of the traditional herbal remedies and has been used to treat nausea,
indigestion, fever and infection and to promote vitality and longevity. 1 Ginger is also
effective in the treatment of many other illnesses and discomforts as follows:

Disorders that ginger can help remedy

Flatulence Nausea Intestinal infection

Food poisoning High blood pressure Chilblains
Fever Clotting Motion sickness
Morning sickness Cold and Flu Arthritis pain
Skin cancer Weight Loss Thirst
Depression Gastrointestinal disorders Bone fragility

Ginger was praised by Confucius, Nostradamus and Pliny. Even the Koran speaks
of a fountain of ginger flavoured water. Ginger’s anti toxic properties have an anti
viral, anti fungal, anti histamine and anti bacterial effect, which is basically the effect
of an anti biotic, cold and flu tablet or an aspirin. Ginger has played an important
role in Asian medicine as a folk remedy to promote cleansing of the body through
perspiration, to calm nausea and to stimulate the appetite. Ancient Indians used
gingerroot to treat digestive problems. Chinese sailors chewed on gingerroot to
combat seasickness. Chinese women drank ginger tea to alleviate menstrual pain.

Ginger contains no fat or sugar so can be added to foods to heighten flavour without
adding calories. Ginger tea brewed from the fresh root has not only a weight loss
purpose but has been used for centuries in India and China as an after meal drink to
aid digestion. Ginger’s enzymes catalyse protein digestion in the stomach quickly
and leave little time for nausea. 2

Ginger also contains moderate amounts of magnesium, calcium, protein, calcium,

iron, sodium, potassium and phosphorus. Together they act as a remedy for muscle
spasms, depression, hypertension, muscle weakness, convulsions, confusion,
personality changes, nausea and gastrointestinal disorders. The high level of
potassium in ginger protects the body from bone fragility, paralysis, sterility, muscle
weakness, kidney damage and damage to the heart. Ginger also has a high content
of antioxidants which means it also has anti-inflammatory properties.3

Value-Addition and Alternative Product Development

Ginger can and has been used in many different products. Ginger tea has been
used as a carminative and for the treatment of colds at their onset for centuries. It
has been used in China as a tonic. The Greeks, after a large meal, wrapped bread
around a piece of ginger and ate it to ease indigestion. This gave rise to ginger
bread. In England, ginger was added to beer, forerunner to ginger ale, as a remedy
for diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. The Chinese also considered ginger root to be
an antidote to shellfish poisoning, explaining why it is found in so many seafood
dishes.

Ginger is popular because of its pungent flavour. It is a complement to many meals,

drinks and desserts. Due to its popularity and diverse scope for product
development it would be advantageous for the local communities of Nepal to value
add their products. This would assist in gaining a higher profit margin for the local
producers and product variety for consumers in local markets and in Kathmandu. It
would lessen the gap between products produced in Nepal and those imported from
overseas and be an import replacing, Nepal made product.

Forms of Ginger

Powdered: The mainstay of baking, ground ginger is a rich, warm spice. Its aroma
and flavour are fragile, so buy in small quantities if possible.

Preserved: A delicious spicy sweet condiment made from fresh ginger that is
mellowed in a sugar syrup. Chinese preserves are often flavoured with licorice and
a touch of salt.

Pickled: A familiar accompaniment to sushi, it is made from fresh ginger that is

marinated until tender and pink in a rice vinegar solution and then sliced paper thin
along the grain.
Tea: You can make this soothing tonic by steeping fresh ginger in hot water, or you
can buy a Chinese tea that is already mixed with dried fresh gingerroot.

Dried: You can buy dried gingerroot in Indian or Chinese markets to keep on hand to
grind as the need arises. The dried ginger provides a surprisingly true ginger taste.

Crystallized: One of the world’s oldest candies, crystallized ginger is made by slow-
cooking fresh ginger in sugar water, then rolling it in granulated sugar. Also called
candied ginger, it has a gentle, warming bite.

(Please see Annex 2 for various ginger products)

Recipes and information about international products

Ginger Beer

Equipment: Ingredients:
4-5 large plastic bottles, sterilised 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger root, chopped
(Do not use glass bottles they may explode) 2 lemons, washed and thickly sliced
1 large stainless steel or enamel pot 500g sugar
with a lid or very clean towel to cover 4 ½ litres of water
Funnel 1 teaspoon tartaric acid
Wooden spoon 7g sachet dried yeast
Perforated metal spoon

Method:
1. Place the lemons, ginger, water, tartaric acid and sugar into a pan. Bring to the
boil then simmer for five minutes. Turn off the heat and leave until it is warm, not
hot.
2. Sprinkle the yeast on top and put the lid on the pot. Leave for a few hours or
even overnight.
3. Scoop out the lemon and ginger, then funnel into the clean bottles. (Note: don’t fill
the bottles right up- there should be a space at the top of at least 5cm or 2

6
 inches). Check twice a day to see if you need to release some of the gas in the
bottles (gently unscrew the cap to release pressure).
4. You’ll know when the ginger beer is ready to drink, because as the pressure
builds up bubbles will form and the bottles will feel tight to touch. This usually
happens within 24 hours, but on a warm day it may be ready to drink within 12
hours.
5. When ready, put the bottles into the fridge, and drink the ginger beer as soon as
it is cold.

Reminders:
• Never keep homemade ginger beer for more than three days after making, and
throw it out if it looks or smells odd.
• Always store homemade ginger beer in plastic bottles, never glass, in case the
bottles explode.
• Everything that comes into contact with the brew- your hands, the bottles, the
funnel etc., must be scrupulously clean.
• All homemade ginger beer is slightly alcoholic, so don’t allow the children to drink
too much.

Gingerbread Man

The gingerbread man has been around for centuries. According to legend, Queen
Elizabeth 1st of England invented the gingerbread man. These biscuits, shaped in
the form of a little man, are enjoyed by children across the globe.

Equipment: Ingredients:

1 tsp. Ground cloves

Method:
1. Cream shortening and sugar.
2. Beat in egg, molasses and vinegar.
3. Sift together dry ingredients and blend into creamed mixture.
4. Chill for 3 hours.
5. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick.
6. Cut into shapes of a little man.
7. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 5-6 minutes.

7
8. Cool slightly on cookie sheet and then remove to rack. 4

Crystallized Ginger

Ingredients
1.5 lbs fresh, young ginger, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch circles to make 1 quarter water
3 cups sugar
1 lemon, seeded and sliced
1 cup light corn syrup
granulated sugar or special large crystal sugar

Method
1. In a large, HEAVY stainless steel pot place the ginger and cover with plenty of
water.
2. Bring slowly to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender when poked
with a knife(~20 minutes.)
3. Add 1 cup sugar, stir until it boils.

7. Simmer 15 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
8. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.
9. Third day, uncover and bring to boil, stirring more often.
10. Add 1cup sugar and simmer 30 minutes, stirring more often.
11. Add 1 cup sugar and bring to boil.
12. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.
13. Fourth day, slowly bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until ginger is
translucent and syrup drops heavily from side of spoon (instead of forming two
drips, it forms one heavy drip from the side of the spoon.)
14. Let it cook quite slowly at this stage, at a medium-low heat, and stir it
occasionally (just avoid scortching.) It takes about 45 minutes.
15. Drain the ginger, reserving the syrup for flavoring other things and remove the
lemon slices.
16. Spread ginger on a rack over a tray and dry uncovered overnight.
17. When dried, roll slices in granulated sugar.
18. Use a mix of plain sugar and that special large crystal sugar.

International Market for Ginger

This study focuses on the ginger market in 3 various international markets, namely
India, USA and Australia respectively. The information given is a result of research
predominately of the internet and therefore is limited and not always referenced.
Wherever possible website and email addresses have been added and can be found
in the annexes.

Ginger is a product of high demand throughout the world. As indicated above the
products that use ginger are very diverse and generally culturally specific. As of yet
ginger is generally produced only as a raw spice in Nepal but the following
information displays that most international markets value-add there products and
use ginger in many ways.

Name of ginger in international languages:

Spanish: Jengibre French: Gingembre

German: Ingwer Swedish: Ingefara
Arabic: Zanjabil Dutch: Gember
Italian: Zenzero Japanese: Shoga
Chinese: Chiang

Indian Market

India is mainly an agricultural country. Agriculture accounts for approximately 33

percent of India's GDP and employs nearly 62 percent of the population. It accounts
for 8.56 % of India’s exports. About 43 % of India's geographical area is used for
agricultural activity. In the past, India had to import most of its food. But improved
farming techniques and the using of irrigation and high-yield grains has greatly
increased. In India, since most of the cropped area even now does not have any
assured irrigation, the monsoon assumes a crucial role in influencing agricultural
production.

Important items of agricultural export are rice, cashew nuts, coffee, tea, horticulture
and floriculture products. One of the main challenges facing India was producing
enough food for the increasing population. As not more than the existing land is fit for
cultivation, India has to strive to develop productivity on existing land. Over the past
four decades, India more than tripled its food production. Although 30 percent of this
production growth, known as the Green Revolution, came from expanding farmland
area, most of the increase since the late 1970s, has come from increased average
yields. In other words, farmers using the new varieties of grain were growing more
food on the same amount of land. India has the world's largest cattle population
(193 million), large numbers of sheep and goats, and more water buffalo and camels

9
than any other country. This has placed heavy demands on the grazing lands. Both
grasslands and forest areas suffer as a result.

Ginger is widely produced in India. Predominately in the states Andhra, Karnataka,

Himachal, Pradesh, Tamil Nado, Orissa, Sikkim, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Arunachal,
Keralam, Karnataka, Nadhya Pradesh and West Bengal. Though grown all over
India, the finest quality ginger is known in the world market as ‘Cochin Ginger’ and
‘Calicut Ginger’ (NUGK).

The most common forms of ginger production in India are raw, powder, bleached, oil,
oleoresins, fresh in brine, pickled, candied, garbled and as a syrup. The principle
buyers from India are the Middle East, USA, UK and the Netherlands. The
estimated export of ginger of the year 2000 is given below and is based on DGCI&S
Data and shipping bills from customs. 5

ESTIMATED EXPORT:

Ginger: (April– June 2000) 430 Tonnes US$ 0.64 million

Packaging, Packing, Marking and Labeling

In international trade it is very necessary to follow the instructions regarding packing,

marking and labeling received from the overseas buyer. Every exporter should be
very careful in packaging and packing which is of great importance in transportation
as well as in the safety of the goods. Packaging is the inner wrapping or container
which covers one or more units of the product. Export packing is the outer casing
and materials used to transport the product or number of products in one case by
road, sea or air. Each method of transportation may demand a different type of pack.
The rougher handling and long storage of products dispatched by sea means that
the outer case will have too substantial, a wooden case or crate. The comparatively
lighter handling and shorter storage of products dispatched by air, may mean that a
lighter type of wood crate or strong cardboard packing will be satisfactory.
Consignments dispatched by road or rail will need the stronger or lighter form of
packaging depending on the type of product, the distance it has to be transported
and the storage time.

The exporter must ensure that any packing instructions specified in the contract are
complied with and also that any legislation governing acceptable packaging
materials, in the overseas market is strictly observed. If no instructions are received,
packing should be of the recognised customary standards for that particular country
with certain specifications laid down by the Shipping Companies. The Bureau of
Indian Standards has prescribed packing standards for certain items. In addition to
the packing standards, the exporter should also keep in mind the following :

i. Packing should be of the type which may cost less freight charges.

ii. The packing should be most durable as the goods have to go severe hazards
in transit and they are to be loaded and unloaded at various stages. Strong
and durable container can enable the product to stand with the hazard of
frequent handling and rough weather, excessive moisture, extreme heat,
vermin and theft, etc. Exporter has to decide the types of containers to be
used i.e. liquids are normally shipped in drums, consumer products are to be
packed in wooden cases or in fibre cartons, capital equipment is protected by
same kind of material and special forms of cushion may be used for delicate
goods.

Weight Measurements

Weight measurements used in the export packing are :

i. Net – weight of product without packing ;

11
 ii. Net – weight of product without either internal wrapping, packing materials or
packing case;
iii. Gross – weight of product plus weight of packing case
iv. Tare – weight of packing only.

Labeling

On the request of importer, the exporter has to attach particular types of labels, price
tickets, etc. which may be considered favourable to his market.

Marking

Shipping marks are requested by the overseas buyer should be put on each packing
case so that the consignment may be identified throughout transit and on reaching
its destination. Ships carry a large number of consignments belonging to various
exporters at one and the same time. In absence of adequate identification marks for
goods, the identification of the consignment of each exporter, the inspection of goods
by the Customs Authorities as also quick and effective delivery of the goods at the
destination by the shipping authorities will prove difficult. Marking includes shipping
marks of consignee like short name of the buyer, port of dispatch, port of destination,
steamer’s name and bill of lading number, case number/total cases and/or other
marks, as requested by the buyer. If the particular marking is not specified by the
buyer, the exporter may choose his own marking.

It is also important to ensure that the marks and numbers on packages conform in
every respect to those written in the Bill of Lading, Insurance Certificate, Invoices
and other documents, if any.

The special instructions on the packing case should not be mentioned in English only
but should also be in the language of the overseas buyer and the language of the
countries through which the consignment may pass as it may be necessary to off-
load the consignment en route.

The Exporters may seek the assistance and guidance for better packaging and such
other things from the office of the Development Commissioner (SSI), Ministry of
Industry and Civil Supplies, 7 th Floor, Nariman Bhavan, New Delhi.

Australian Market

Due to the fact that Australia is predominately an agricultural society it is rich in

spices such as ginger. However, variety is extremely important to the Australian
market and much of the home produced ginger is exported. In order to find an
appropriate entrance for Nepali made ginger it is important to look at how Australian
business functions. There are two fundamental department grocery stores in the
country, namely Woolworths and Coles. There websites are respectively
www.woolworths.com and www.coles.com.au. These two businesses should be
the initial target into the Australian market.

Buderim Ginger Factory

Since 1941 Buderim has earned a reputation of being the world leader in ginger
processing and now supply over 40% of the world’s sugar processed ginger.
They are located north of Brisbane, Australia where the comparatively high rainfall
and humidity combine to produce conditions ideal from growing ginger. After World
War 2 the Chinese supply of ginger was interrupted which gave scope for an
increase of sales from Buderim. As a result of this The Buderim Ginger Grower’s
Co-operative Association Limited was created and from 1989 the company was
listed on the stock exchange. Buderim excersises a very strong hold on the market
for ginger internationally and so has diversified its stock, a list of its products follows.

Buderim Products

• Pickled ginger Bakery Items: Ginger bread

• Ginger Purees Biscuits
• Shredded green ginger Confectionary items: Chocolate
• Ginger Pulps Ginger candy
• Diced and Sliced Beverages: Ginger beer, ale
• Ginger syrup Marinades and Sauces: Dressing
• Drained ginger Ice cream and desserts
• Crystallized ginger Jams and Spreads
• Dried ground ginger Health Foods: Snack bars
• Diced in syrup Neutriceuticals
• Fine-diced

Singapore Market

Singapore depends on imported goods to satisfy its residents. As the community

mainly consists of Malay and Chinese settlers, ginger is an import spice used in
cooking. The website www.dpa.org.sg offers a data base of all the supermarkets in
Singapore. This would be a good starting point to establish contacts in the market 6.

U.S Market

From the research completed on the internet it became evident that there are ample
producers of ginger in Northern America. There were a few various retailers of
international imported ginger products but predominately the ginger sold in the US

Basic Import Information

US Customs Import Process:

All merchandise coming into the US must clear through US Customs Service and is
subject to a customs duty unless specifically exempted from duty by law. Clearance
of imported goods involves a number of steps: entry, valuation, appraisement and
liquidation.

Step 1: Entry

When the shipment arrives in the US the consignee will file entry documents for the
goods with the district director at the point of entry. The consignee is the importer or
the agent of the importer.

Entry documents must be filed at the location specified by the district customs
director within five (5) working days of the date of arrival of the shipment at a US port
of entry. The US Customs Service does not notify you of the shipment. Notification
is usually made by the carrier of the goods.

Entry documents include:

• Bill of Lading, Airway Bill or carrier’s certificate. These documents show the right
of the consignee to make entry.
• Entry Manifest (Customs Form #7533) or Application and special Permit for
immediate Delivery (Customs Form #3461).
• Commercial Invoice. This document shows the value and description of the
merchandise.
• Packing List and other documents the merchandise admissibility.

Evidence must accompany the entry to cover any potential duties, taxes, and
penalties which may accure. After presentation of the entry, the shipment may be
examined or examination may be waived. The shipment is then released, as long as
there occurred no legal or regulatory violations. Entry summary documentation
(Custom Form #7501) is filed and estimated duties are deposited within 10 working
days of the release of merchandise at a designated customhouse.

14
Step 2: Inspection

Prior to release of the goods, the district or port director will designate representative
quantities for examination by US Customs Service officers under conditions properly
safeguarding the goods. The inspection is necessary to determine:

• Value of the goods for customs purposes and its dutiable status.
• Whether the goods must be marked with the country of origin or with special
markings or labeling and whether this is done correctly.
• Whether the goods have been correctly invoiced.
• Whether any prohibited goods are in the shipment.
• Whether the requirements of other agencies have been met.
• Whether any excess or shortage of goods exist against the invoiced quantities.

If necessary, the goods may be analyzed by a US Customs laboratory to determine

the proper classification and appraisement.

Step 3: Valuation and Appraisement

All imported goods to the US are subject to duty or duty-free status in accordance
with their classification under the applicable items in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the US Rates of duty for imparted merchandise may vary depending upon the
country of origin. Tariff schedules provide three basic rates of duty for an item:

• Most favored nation (MFN) rate.

• Communist-bloc countries.
• Least developed developing countries.

Duties are assessed in the following manner:

• Ad valorem- this type of rate is most common. It is a percentage of the appraised

value of the merchandise.
• Specific- it is a specified amount per unit of weight or other quantity.
• Compound- combination of both.

Step 4: Liquidation

When all the information has been acquired, including the report of the US Customs
Service import specialist as to the US Customs Service value of the goods, a final
determination of duty is made. This is known as liquidation of the entry. Liquidation
is the point at which the US Customs Service’s confirmation of the rate of duty and
amount of duty becomes final for most purposes. Liquidation is accomplished by
posting a notice on a public bulletin board at the customhouse. It may take up to one
year for the goods to be liquidated.

Other things to be aware of:

15
Markings: The US Customs Service laws require each imported good produced
aboard to be marked in a conspicuous place legibly in English the name of the
country of origin.

Restrictions: Certain classes of merchandise may be prohibited or restricted to

protect the economy and the security of the US. Prior to importing, call the Honolulu
office of US Customs at Tel: (808) 861-8462 to determine whether your import
product is subject to restriction.

 CHAPTER III

Observations and Advice

From research conducted on the internet it is evident that Nepal provides a
favourable climate for the production of raw ginger. This could be advantageous for
the Nepali ginger market as long as the standard of the product is of a high standard
and quality assured. This is an extremely crucial factor in the exportation and
importation regulations imposed on food products and can take extended periods of
time to become liquidated, particularly those products coming from less-developed
nations (please look to US import regulations).

Due to these stringent regulations imposed by much of the western world it is my

recommendation that the intial target nations for export of MEDEP food products
should be surrounding South Asian countries, namely India, Pakistan, China and
Bhutan. In the annex there is a detailed importer profile of potential Indian clients,
some of whom already have indicated interest.

As for the list of alternative international clients in the annex on page 23, these
should initially be used as a reference for ideas for value-addition and product
development as there are opportunities for diversifying the use of ginger in the sub-
continent that have not yet been explored. In the western world particularly, ginger is
used in sweets and many refreshing drinks such as ginger beer. A section of this
document is focussed on new product development and recipes are included due to
the fact that some of these products have not previously been introduced to Nepal.
If small local enterprises focus on product diversity that enables value-addition this
will not only provide villagers with variety in their food products and higher profits for
sale in Kathmandu but it will also act as an import replacing investment.

I hope that the information acquired will give MEDEP ample scope for product
development and provide the producers with various contacts overseas for additional
ideas in value-addition. I also hope that the list of Indian contacts provides
importation centres suitable for Nepali ginger and that it provides a head start to
increased trade agreements and appropriate international distribution.

I wish to thank MEDEP for supporting me in my research and data collection,

particular Bidula Shrestha for advice and encouragement. I wish the micro-
enterprises of ginger in the rural districts of Nepal every success in their business.

Ginger and Molasses Cookies

From: morrissey@stsci.edu (Mostly Harmless)
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1993 01:26:19 GMT

3/4 cup soft shortening

1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (if using self-rising flour, omit salt
and reduce soda to 1 tsp.)
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon

20
1 tsp ground ginger
granulated sugar

Method
Mix shortening, brown sugar, egg, and molasses thoroughly. Measure flour
by dipping method or by sifting. Blend all dry ingredients; stir into
molasses mixture. Chill.

Heat oven to 375 F. Roll dough in 1 1/4 inch balls. Dip tops in sugar.
Place balls, sugared side up, 3 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Sprinkle
Each with 2 or 3 drops of water. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or just until set but
not hard. Makes 4 dozen.

Gingerbread House
1. To make the dough put in:
• spices: ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg
• sugar
• butter
• salt
• molasses
• flour
• baking soda
Put it in the refrigerator for a few hours to cool.
2. Make the patterns. Make the front, side, and roof.
3. Roll the dough out. We used a rolling pin. Use flour to keep the dough from
sticking. It shouldn't be too thick or too thin.
4. Put the pattern on and cut it out.
5. Put it on a pan and bake it.
6. Cut the windows and doors while it is hot.
7. Make sugar glue and stick the pieces together.
8. Decorate the house with candy.

It should look similar to the picture below.

Gingerbread Cookie Building Slabs
Sunset Recipe Annual - 1988 Edition
(Lane Publishing)

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1-1/3 cups light or dark molasses
9 cups all-purpose flour
Icing cement (recipe below)

Method
Whip cream and vanilla until cream holds soft peaks. In a large bowl, mix sugar,
baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon. Stir in molasses and cream. Gradually add flour,
mixing well. On a lightly floured board, roll out a portion of dough until it's flat but still
thick enough to pick up easily without tearing. Place it on a greased and floured 12-
by 15-inch rimless baking sheet. Finish rolling dough on pan, supporting the rolling
pin on equally thick wooden strips placed along opposite edges of pan. Use about 2
cups dough for each 1/8-inch-thick slab, about 4 cups for each 1/4-inch slab, and
about 6 cups for each 3/8-inch slab. If cookies are not evenly thick, the thin areas
bake darker in color and are more brittle.

You can bake up to 2 pans of dough at a time in 1 oven. Bake dough until fairly firm
when pressed in center - in a 300 degree F. oven, allow about 1 hour for 1/8-inch-
thick slabs; in a 275 degree F. oven, allow about 1-3/4 hours for 1/4-inch slabs and
about 2-1/4 hours for 3/8-inch slabs. After 30 minutes, remove pans from oven and
place pattern pieces close together on the dough; with a sharp knife, cut around
pattern edges; lift off pattern and scraps. (Later, bake the scraps to eat.) Return both
pans to oven, switching their positions, and finish baking. Meanwhile, roll out
remaining dough to make cookies and other special features.

When done, carefully loosen cookies with a spatula; cool on pan until firm, about 5
minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Decorate and assemble structure with icing
cement or wrap pieces airtight and store up to 1 month; cookies keep crisp longer,
but do not taste as fresh. Makes about 9 cups dough, or 4-1/2 slabs 1/8 inch thick, 2-
1/2 slabs 1/4 inch thick, or 1-1/2 slabs 3/8 inch thick. Each full slab is 10 by 15
inches.
Note: This dough can also be used to make gingerbread people and/or cookies.

Icing Cement

With an electric mixer, beat 2 large egg whites, 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 2
teaspoons water until frothy. Mix in 3 cups sifted powdered sugar; beat on high
speed until icing is stiff, 5 to 10 minutes. Use, or cover up to 8 hours. Makes about 1-
1/2 cups.
