Sweet Ginger Snack Candied

Directions

1. 1
   Wash the ginger well and remove the outer skin.
2. 2
   Cut into 2 - 3 mm thick pieces and soak in plenty of water for 30 minutes.
3. 3
   Boil water in a pan, add the ginger, then drain.
4. 4
   Do this 3 times.
5. 5
   Add the drained ginger to a pot, top with the sugar, and heat.
6. 6
   Bring to a boil on medium heat at first, then reduce to low heat and boil, being careful not to burn (moisture will come out naturally, so don't mix it).
7. 7
   Once the ginger turns translucent brown, mix slowly until the sugar crystallizes.
8. 8
   Once the sugar has roughly crystallized, quickly move to a cookie sheet to cool (be careful as the sugar will be sticky).
9. 9
   Before it completely cools, spread out the ginger so that its not overlapping and allow to dry (if you like a sweet taste, top with granulated sugar).
10. 10
    Once they're completely dried, place in a storage container and store in the refrigerator.
