Crystallized or Candied Ginger recipe

Directions Crystallized or Candied Ginger

Directions

1. Cut ginger into 2-inch pieces and slice lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices. Score ginger slices by pricking with a fork.

2. Toss ginger with sugar in a bowl.

3. Combine ginger-sugar mixture and water in a large skillet or wok, bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts into a syrup and starts to crystallize, about 1 hour. Continue stirring until syrup is mostly crystallized and ginger comes together in a pile in the center of the skillet and very little syrup drains out, remove from heat.

4. Toss ginger slices gently to cool and separate from excess sugar. Spread slices out on a tray to cool and dry.
