Candied Ginger
Herbal Recipe
Candied Ginger candies will last a long time, so are worth the trouble!
Ingredients and Instructions:
Cut ginger into slices; boil about 15 minutes.
For each pound of ginger, make a syrup by heating 3 cups sugar with 2 cups water. You can substitute 2 cups of honey for the sugar-water if desired. Combine slices and syrup and simmer until translucent and most of the liquid is gone (about 40 to 60 minutes). Keep careful watch on this so as not to burn it.
Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 200 degrees until dry.
Note: It is very important not to become impatient with the cooking process. Keep watching it during the entire time and be ready to lower the heat if it appears to be turning brown too rapidly.
