Yield Makes about 8 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 1/2 cups peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger
Superfine sugar

Steps:

  • Place ginger in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Partially cover saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil until ginger is almost cooked through but still slightly al dente, about 1 hour. Drain.
  • Weigh cooked ginger and return it to saucepan with an equal amount of sugar. Add 2 tablespoons water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring, until ginger becomes translucent, about 20 minutes.
  • Reduce heat and continue cooking, stirring, until ginger is crystallized and begins to clump in the middle of the pan.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle a large rimmed baking sheet with sugar. Pour crystallized ginger onto prepared baking sheet and roll in sugar, separating pieces. Transfer to a sterilized jar and store in a cool place for 3 to 6 months.
