12/18/2010 07:43:43 PM Report AbuseI've been making a recipe very similar to this for years and it is always popular. Mine has cinnamon instead of ginger and it doesn't have the salt, coriander, cumin or paprika but it has the cayenne pepper. The good thing about it is you could use whatever spices you like, experiment with it. It's nice with a cheese tray and drinks!
