Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Crystallized ginger is fresh gingerroot that has been cooked in a sugar syrup, then coated with sugar. It has that great ginger bite along with the sweet flavor.
  • tip 2
    Pound cake freezes beautifully. Wrap the cooled cake in heavy-duty foil, then place it in a resealable plastic bag. Freeze up to one month.
