Candied Ginger

Contributed by MoonLtStrl on The School of Natural Healing Community board at http://www.snh.cc/Community.html



Many times I have run across "candied" ginger. I just don't see the point in boiling this healing root in Sugar Seems to defeat the purpose...After making some rosepetal honey, I ate one of the petals and noticed it was kind of crystallized. I began to wonder if it would work for the ginger root. . . . . and sure enough, it did!



Directions:



· Peel ginger root, slice it about 1/8 inch thick



· Put slices in a jar, cover with honey



· After about an hour the honey will start to get watery, pour off the watery honey juice and SAVE it!



· Cover slices again with honey. Let it sit. (about another hour)



· Pour off more juice. (save again)



· Cover with more honey.



· Pour off honey juice, again.



· Remove the ginger slices from the jar and lay them on some waxed paper, place in the fridge.



Notes:



* It will probably take about 3-4 cycles of covering the slices with honey and pouring it off until you

stop getting watery juice. * The ginger slices will keep for months in the fridge.
