3 cups sugar plus extra for dusting
2 cups water
Peel the ginger. Cut into 5mm slices, going diagonally to the grain. Place the water and 3 cups of sugar into a pan, bring to the boil until the sugar is melted. Add the ginger, bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. After 2 hours, turn off the heat and allow the ginger to cool. Transfer the ginger to a sieve and allow to drain. Spread the ginger onto a baking sheet and dry for 2 hours. Dredge the slices in sugar and transfer to a container to store.
My dad requested I make candied ginger for him as he likes it very much. These candies are hotter than shop bought ones but they are very nice, nonetheless. I tried a little with dark chocolate and it took the heat off the ginger.
