How much fresh ginger would you grate up for this recipe? I love that you chose to use the cherries and the gingerbread flavors together. I don't see that very much in dessert recipes. You often see cherry and chocolate or vanilla, but nothing with the gingerbread except chocolate or sometimes , pumpkin.
