Luckily my wife peeled it this morning and I chopped it up.

Then it was pureed in my blender and will hence be frozen.

Do you not freeze it in more sensible size portions first? I've found that my small ice cube trays are roughly 1 teaspoon each of grated and then chopped ginger (I didn't have the spice blender at the time) so I know for every tablespoon of ginger required I need to add 3 of these cubes. I was thinking with your jars you would have to defrost the lot first and only take what you need and then make sure you use it all before it goes bad.

Difficult to know how big these pots are, though...

Down the right hand side of the right hand pot is a clue...

The small one holds about 3 tablespoons I think. I just defrost them until there is enough defrosted for my needs then shove them back into the freezer.

I bought a spare ice cube tray especially for ginger and/or garlic, it even has a lid. Never got around to using it

they are really handy! I decant mine into storage containers in the freezer once frozen and label accordingly!
