Sharon - your recipes never fail to please me - we must both love the same things! This recipe was a TOTAL success - I love it! I have my own ginger syrup recipe, but I wanted to try your spicy version - it was gorgeous. I took photos of the syrup in a jar - it looked blah!! So, I took photos of how I used it - and I used it dribbled over my own Banoffee Pancakes! (With cream!) I also decided to dress the pancakes with an orange blossom spray and lilac for the floral photos tag challenge - but this recipe was made for PRMR. A lovely, spicy ginger syrup which I will recommend in my Banoffee Pancakes recipe and to anyone who asks! Thanks Shaz as we say in the UK! FT

I used the syrup on French Tarts delicious pancakes, it was an incredible blend. Thank you so much for sharing this quick and easy to make treat. I can't wait to try the drink. I see so many possible uses for this, I know that I will be making this again and again. Kudos Kato
