Ingredients
Preparations
Peel the ginger using the edge of a spoon.
Slice the ginger. Use
a sharp knife to slice the ginger ⅛-inch thick. You can
slice the ginger into rounds or wider pieces, it's up to you. Note: the ginger slices will reduce in size from boiling.
Boil the ginger. Bring
a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat and add the sliced
ginger. Boil for 30 minutes, covered, then drain in a colander over a
bowl, reserving the water.
Simmer with sugar. Add
the ginger back to the pot along with 2 cups of the reserved water and
two cups of sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer,
and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of
the simple syrup has evaporated and the ginger is tender. Note: if
your simple syrup is evaporating more quickly, you might be simmering
too hot. You can always add a little bit more water. Drain and cool. Drain the
ginger again in a colander over a bowl to save the ginger simple syrup
for future use ( can be used while you make tea, or used in carrot cake instead of sugar, as it has all the goodness of ginger in it). Then, lay the ginger in a single flat
layer on a cooling rack over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool
for 30 minutes. Toss in sugar. While the ginger slices are still sticky, toss them in a bowl with extra sugar for a final coating. Dry and store. Lay the
ginger flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet to completely dry (I
prefer to let them dry overnight). Then store in a sealed container.
