Method:

1. Cut the peeled ginger into strips 1.5cm/1/2 in long and 5mm/1/8 in thick. Place in a jar with the remaining ingredients, making sure there is enough lemon juice to cover the ginger and chili.

2. Put the lid on the jar and shake it twice daily foe about a moth until the pickle is ready. The pickle will mature quickly if the jar is left in the sun, but open the lid slightly to avoid condensation.
