How to Make Crystallized Ginger Ginger Syrup Ginger Sugar
- Peel and slice 1 pound of fresh ginger into 2-inch lengths and 1/8-inch thick slices using a mandoline slicer for even results.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced ginger with 1 cup granulated sugar.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugared ginger and 1 cup of water.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1.5 hours, or until the ginger is translucent and the sugar has crystallized around the edges of the pan.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar over it.
- Once cool enough to handle, carefully remove the ginger from the syrup using a slotted spoon and arrange it on the sugared parchment paper.
- Gently toss the ginger in the sugar to coat evenly.
- Transfer the crystallized ginger to an airtight container, store it in a cool, dark place.
- Strain the remaining syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar or container. This is your delicious ginger syrup!
- Store the leftover sugar crystals from the bottom of the pan in an airtight jar. Use it to sweeten drinks, rim glasses, or add to baked goods.
- To make a more diluted ginger syrup, add 1 cup of water to the strained syrup and gently heat to combine.
