Description

Candied ginger is a sweet and spicy treat that is perfect for snacking or adding to baked goods. It's made by cooking fresh ginger in a sugar syrup until it becomes tender and coated in a crystalized sugar coating. This recipe is easy to make and requires minimal ingredients and equipment.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Cooling rack
  • Knife or mandoline to slice ginger

Method

  1. Place the sliced ginger in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the ginger and set aside.
  2. In the same saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Add the ginger to the sugar syrup and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the ginger is translucent and the syrup has thickened.
  4. Remove the ginger from the syrup using a slotted spoon and place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Allow the ginger to cool for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the syrup for another use, such as sweetening tea or cocktails.
  6. Once the ginger has cooled, roll each slice in granulated sugar to coat.
  7. Store the candied ginger in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Be sure to slice the ginger thinly for best results.
  • The ginger will become more tender the longer it is cooked in the syrup. If you prefer a firmer texture, cook the ginger for less time.
  • The leftover syrup is delicious when added to tea or cocktails.
