Preparation Instructions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x5 by 3 inch loaf pan. Trim and discard all crusts from bread; cut remaining bread into 1 1/2 inch cubes.

Pour all contents back into saucepan and soak, stirring consistently, over low heat until sauce thickens slightly and coats a spoon. DO NOT BOIL. Chill to thicken. Just before serving, strain to remove ginger root pieces. Yield: 6-8 servings |
