full.sc/LQTHYV - SUB HERE! Candied ginger is great all on its own or as an addition for fruit salads, cookies, crisps and desserts. It is quite easy to make as well. Enjoy!

you don't have to change the water, if you like it super spicy. I like it super spicy. It works similar to cough drop.

I made it once and didn't know about changing the water. It was pretty intense, but the hot burning sensation was a nice sensation for my taste buds.... almost like hot pepper. I love it super hot too!!!

@@playballpaintball3730 as soon as it starts boiling. So, put the ginger in right when you put the water on the heat, let it boil, change water when the boil starts, do two more time, and you're good to go.

Great channel!!!!! I LOVE Ginger candy but it's so expensive where I live. Until I saw Food Wishes use it in a cookie recipe, I never thought of making my own. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Edit: reminder to self, it can last a year in the syrup in the fridge.

I would think cooking it in fresh water 3 times would cook the nutrients out of the ginger...right? I mean...that's why we microwave veggies rather than boil...to preserve nutrients. Anyone with knowledge on that?

I made a batch last evening. My Ginger was rather broad so my slices were larger. They are soooo delicious and far better than the shop/store ones, and much less expensive too! I am going to get lots of Ginger 2morrow and make some to give in little selophane packets at Christmas, with red and green Tartan bows!Thanks again... Hugs. :)

I believe it's the components that give ginger it's pungent and spicy flavor are also what give it antiviral and antibacterial properties. While I love the flavor of ginger, I eat it for it's health benefits as well, so I will not be draining the water. Or maybe drain some of it, and save that for ginger tea. When you simmer it to the point of making a syrup, you can also save that to add to desserts. Some recipes even suggest this. In any case, I wouldn't want to waste all the health benefits and flavor! I don't understand why so many ppl are cutting it thin. I have purchased candied ginger that is in square chunks and it's awesome! Maybe you just need to make sure what you buy is fresh and young so it's not woody. All I know is that the thicker pieces were tender and tasted great!

Now I see why it's so expensive to buy candied, a more healthy, if spicier, solution is to rest the ginger in honey and eat it later. It doesn't affect the taste of the honey itself, while still mantaining to be healthier.

@mattlinthicum4207

here's a suggestion from a career cook witha recipe passed down from my mother. Where she got it? I don't know but I prefer these results. 1. peel ginger with spoon. 2. grate or fine mince ginger. 3. combine a 2/1 ratio sugar to ginger (by volume) in a skillet or low sauce pan with just enough water to coat. 4. bring to boil on high . 5 cook and stir and cook and stir and cook and stir from watery to light syrup to heavy syrup to "GLOOP" all while lovering the flame to PREVENT CARMELIZATION. 6. CRITCAL STEP! Once solid crystals start forming at the bottom of the pan, turn to the lowest heat you can and STIR STIR STIR LIKE CRAZY! The goal now is to cool the molten mixture and evaporate excess water. 6.2 once the "BLOB" is really thick remove from heat and use a fork to areate and DRY. You'll know you're doing this right as small crystals become big crystals as it "blob" cools. work it with the the fork breaking up the blob and work until its becomes granulated again (with chunks of ginger). 7. once "dry" place onto wax paper to cool. it should look like sugar with ginger chunks not ginger coated in sugar. 8. bag and tag ina cool dry place and add to green tea, the end :)

That sounds more like cooked ginger sugar than candied/crystallized ginger. If that's the case, it cannot be interchanged with crystallized ginger in baked goods because it would dissolve (bakers usually go to the trouble of candying it so it retains a shape when you put it in a batter) Incidentally, you could probably eliminate the cooking step from your mother's recipe entirely and store the ginger-moistened sugar the same way you would store brown sugar. The flavor will probably be more raw, but the process is easier and there's no risk of giving yourself 4th degree burns on molten sugar. Bakers and barkeeps do it with everything from citrus zest and herbs to scrap vanilla pods.
