There’s something about ginger in desserts that keeps us coming back for more. It could be the way the rhizome in fresh, dried or candied form adds a sharpness that cuts through rich chocolate tarts, or how it marries beautifully with cold-weather fruits like citrus, apples and pear. Our pick? The pear, honey and ginger pudding, a dessert that’s made for winter, and ready to be savoured by the spoonful.
