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!!!

If you do not change the water you will end up with very spice candied ginger. Thank you for stopping by!

My pleasure! I love candied ginger! Thank you!

oh yum yum yum .. this looks very delicious !

If you don't you will have very spicy, candied ginger! The changing of water does not take away the flavor but does take away the spiciness. Thanks for stopping by!

Yes it can! Thanks Lisa!

Ginger is a great medicine. It is an essential element for the human body. You are benefiting people with your lively smile bright and excellent presentation. You have served a wonderful recipe of ginger. Thank you very much I wish you long life and good health

I have always wanted to make this..thank you :)

Awesome! Marry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you for your continued support!

Great recipe. Thanks

Thank you for posting! I love your recipe :)

Awesome! Thank you so much for letting me know! You will make a lot of people happy! Hugs right back at you!

I make this every holiday season. It's my secret ingredient in my fruitcakes, and a key ingredient in some of my other holiday confections.

I’m going to try this. I bought some crystallized ginger candy and it was so delicious! Thanks for making your video short & sweet. 👍

Love your smile!

You are welcome! It is a real treat! Thank you for stopping by!

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.

Thank you! I hope you are well!

love ginger too,good for the tummy,replacing 3 times of the water is good enough for my taste as they can be piping hot on the throat,thanks for the video.

That is right! You will love it - well at least I hope so! Thank you as always my friend!

I love ginger, and the candied ginger is especially lovely when coated in chocolate. The syrup left over would be nice to have on hand for a toddy. Thank you for sharing :)

Thanks Jimmy!

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!

Awesome! Thank you for stopping by!

great! Nice.I like it.

yours was way simpler than that other ladies good job delishiois by the way

Excellent commentary and presentation!!! I love listening to you teach because you are a Natural and your Enthusiasm has inspired me to make some very soon!!! Thanks greatly for sharing your efforts!!! Humanity NEEDS to get BACK to using these Natural Remedies to aid the body instead of relying on too many toxic drugs that killing many people across N. America!!😇🐇

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. :)

When did you change the water? I only saw one use of water in the pan

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?

Thanks!

Great I love candied orange, grapefruit and lemon peel! I have not tried ginger but next time I will! Merry Christmas And Happy New Year! Thanks for all your great recipes!

I can make these after boiling the ginger for my ginger beer. The juice will not go to waste. Thanks.

Fruit salad with crystallized ginger sounds good

I always wanted to know how to make it. I like my spicy and i won't be changing the water. Thank you.

With the water make ginger tea and honey. It is just delicious. So you will end up with so many goodies with just one recipe😉

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 :)

My mom ate ginger whenever she made Kimch.... I do try that when I was little girl but it't too strong to me that time. I do make ginger cinnamon tea often and ginger candy sometimes but I just washed good. Now I see why my hubby can't drink my ginger tea haha... I love ginger!

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.

whole vitamins boiled out with water

Hi there! This is chewy! Thank you for stopping by!

i never knew you could candy Ginger... thanks for sharing this ! i bet my hungry subscribers will love this if they follow the links....

Ya se! jajaja! Como andas Eduardo? Espero que todo super bien!

you have taken all the essence out of the ginger by draining 3 times

On drying the ginger with sugar, can i use my dehydrator?

Hi there! You know, I really don't know what is going on! Thank you for the heads up, by the way. I have three more videos on this SD card. I guess it is time to switch! Take care!

Hi Chef, could you tell me the best way to store the ginger so it stay pliable after the cooking process?

This is wonderful! The candied ginger can be pricey. Uprated.

I paid almost seven dollars for a small bag of candied Ginger on Amazon from Trader Joes and I loved everything except the price . I'm growing Ginger and Tumeric now for my health . I wondered if this would work for both and why did you boil it 3 times and discard the water .

Why do you change the water? I was just wondering.

How long can this ginger candy be kept?

Is hard or chewy?

Can you use the water that you changed, twice, for making a warming drink, or hot toddy?

Could you do a video on candied pineapple? :3

Can you use this recipe to crystallize ginseng?

Nice vidio

Looking forward to trying the recipe. It's hard to find non-imported ones in the stores and I completely avoid the ones from china.

Probably keep that first water where you boiled that ginger. Add some honey into it and enjoy some ginger tea.

i havent been on youtube in a long time, nice to see you again maryanne, but what happened? you used to have such a clear video!

will only one gigabyte of RAM do the trick? also is it good on fruit salad?

Hello I dont eat white granulated sugar. Can I substitute it with honey, palm sugar or sugar in the raw ? Thank you

Why do you need to boil the ginger so often?

Could not find recipe. Grrrr

se te olvido probar los results en este video, jaja :p

you are beautifule lik ginger

Too thin

I preserved mother's corpse with ginger and she has been in the fruit cellar for almost 55 years and she still smells fresh 😈😈😁😁😁😁

Too much sugar consume, not healthy

Thanks!
