How to Make Crystallized Ginger Ginger Syrup Ginger Sugar

  1. 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.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced ginger with 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugared ginger and 1 cup of water.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat.
  5. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1.5 hours, or until the ginger is translucent and the sugar has crystallized around the edges of the pan.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar over it.
  7. Once cool enough to handle, carefully remove the ginger from the syrup using a slotted spoon and arrange it on the sugared parchment paper.
  8. Gently toss the ginger in the sugar to coat evenly.
  9. Transfer the crystallized ginger to an airtight container, store it in a cool, dark place.
  10. Strain the remaining syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar or container. This is your delicious ginger syrup!
  11. 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.
  12. To make a more diluted ginger syrup, add 1 cup of water to the strained syrup and gently heat to combine.
