ingredients
- 1/2 pound fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces
- 1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for coating
- Water
Method
Step 1
Place sliced ginger in a saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Reserve 1 cup of the ginger cooking liquid and discard the rest.
Step 3
Return the ginger and reserved liquid to the pot. Add 1 cup sugar and stir to dissolve. Simmer uncovered for another 30 minutes, until the ginger is translucent and the syrup has thickened slightly.
Step 4
Strain out the ginger pieces (save the syrup for later use).
Step 5
Spread the ginger on a wire rack and let cool for 15 to 30 minutes, until still sticky but no longer wet.
Step 6
Toss ginger pieces in additional sugar to coat.
Step 7
Store candied ginger in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Store syrup separately in the fridge.
