The following day, remove the ginger then turn the remaining ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook gently for 90 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly then turn into sterilized jars. Secure the tops and allow to cool before storing for later use.
