  • Ingre­di­ents:
  • 1 cup fresh ginger
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 cups sugar

Peel gin­ger and slice into rounds about 1⁄8 inch thick.

Mix sug­ar and water in a large sauce pan and bring to boil.

When sug­ar is dis­solved, add gin­ger and boil for 45 min­utes. The gin­ger should be sweet and tender.

Drain gin­ger; place rack to dry for 30 minutes.

If Peel Ginger You Must

Peel­ing gin­ger root with a knife or veg­etable peel­er is an exer­cise in frus­tra­tion. No sweat: Peel it with a spoon.
