Ingredients:

  • 10 oz fresh ginger , blemish free
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Directions:

  1. Peel and slice ginger into 2 inch lenghts and 1/8th inch thick. Using a Mandoline Slicer will give you uniform slices with ease and quickness.
  2. Toss sugar and ginger together.
  3. In a large heavy bottom pan heat water add sugared ginger and bring to a very slow simmer.
  4. Stir over low heat occasionally for 1 and 1/2 hours.
  5. The ginger will become translucent and the sugar will crystallize on the edge of the pan.
  6. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on parchment paper or a silicone mat. Lay drained ginger on sugar. Toss the sugar when ginger has cooled enough to handle (about 10 minutes) to coat evenly.
  7. Place in a air tight container out of heat and light.
  8. The yummy sugar that is left over can be saved in a jar and used for tea, sugar the rim of glasses drinks or in baking cookies or cakes.
  9. And for the left over syrup add 1 cup water heat to mix and use as you would corn syrup.
