Lemon Ginger Paste

A few weeks ago my mother handed me a jar of home-made lemony goo. Fully aware of the potent antioxidant and vitamin content of the goo's 3 ingredients (lemon, ginger, and honey), I had no reason to decline. So ever since, I've been using a bit here, a bit there, and quite frankly, a bit everywhere. I later named it all-purpose, lemony goo. Thanks mom.
