It has natural anti inflammatory properties and can help to alleviate the problem of arthritis. Ginger works great on menstrual cramps ..

My today's ginger pickle recipes are very easy to make and the best accompaniment for this winter season. Winter season is the best time of year for making ginger pickles as very fresh good quality ginger in available in this period. These pickles have very unique, strong, fiery and pungent flavor and more suitable for the fans of zesty food. 

I'm going to follow blanching method on ginger, but this process is optional, if you enjoy the strong flavor of ginger simply skip this process.
