What is "Confectioner's Ginger"?

My guess is that it would be another term for powdered ginger. What is the recipe for exactly.

Candied ginger is sometimes referred to as a "confectionery". I've seen recipes where ground ginger and confectioner's sugar are substituted for it..

The book mentions ground ginger specifically in other recipes so I assume this is something different.

The recipe is for a candy, a brown sugar and cream base with pineapple and ginger.

It's entirely possible candied ginger is equivalent, but with only a teaspoon in a pound of candy, it would have to be very finely chopped and there is no mention of any such processing.

According to this candy making book (Shipman 2003), it's candied ginger. Can only find the one source though defining it.

Sweet! One reference is better than guessing -- and better than I could come up with. Thanks.
