    List of Ingredients




    SEASONING MIX:
    1 tsp Black pepper
    1/2 tsp Salt
    1/2 tsp White pepper
    1/2 tsp Ground ginger
    1/2 tsp Dried thyme leaves
    1/4 tsp Rubbed sage
    1/4 tsp Ground cayenne pepper
    1/8 tsp Ground cumin

    MAIN INGREDIENTS:
    2 tb Chicken, pork, or beef fat
    2 tb Unsalted butter
    3/4 c Finely chopped onions
    1/2 c Finely chopped celery
    1/2 tsp Minced garlic
    6 c Basic chicken stock
    1 c Pan drippings from chicken
    8 Gingersnap cookies
    1 tsp Light brown sugar, to taste
    1 tsp Ground ginger, to taste

    Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Melt the fat and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When almost melted, add the onions, celery, and garlic; saute 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the seasoning mix and cook 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add the stock and pan drippings; bring to a boil over high heat and boil rapidly until liquid reduces to about 1 quart, about 25 minutes. Then crumble the gingersnaps into the stock mixture and whisk with a metal whisk until they are dissolved. Continue cooking 10 minutes, whisking frequently and making sure the gingersnaps are thoroughly dissolved. During this time, taste the gravy; if the ginger flavour is not pronounced,m add the 1 tablespoon brown sugar and the 1 teaspoon ginger or add both to taste. Strain the gravy. Makes 2-1/2 to 3 cups.
