Getting crazy with ginger & using only two ingredients! Candied ginger & ginger syrup. —whatever's left
Ingredients
- candied ginger
-
1.10 pounds
fresh ginger root
-
0.88 pounds
sugar
-
135 milliliters
water
- ginger syrup
-
500 milliliters
ginger water
-
1.01 pounds
sugar
Directions
-
Wash & peel the ginger, then dice it into 5mm cubes.
-
Place the ginger in a pot & top with water, bring to a boil & allow it to cook for 30 to 45 minutes or until the ginger is tender.
-
Remove the pot from the heat & strain the ginger. Keep the liquid & set it aside to use for the ginger syrup later.
-
Place the ginger cubes back into the pot along with 0.88lbs of sugar & 135ml of water, bring to a boil & cook until the ginger becomes translucent. Once that happens, turn the heat down to low & continue to cook until all the water has evaporated. Make sure to stir constantly throughout the process.
-
To make the ginger syrup, take two cups (500ml) of the ginger water that has been reserved & place it in a pot with 1lbs of sugar. Bring to a boil & allow it to cook for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Remove it from the heat & allow it to cool before transferring to a bottle for storing. Both the ginger candy & ginger syrup will keep for several months.
