This was so easy and turned out great! I didn't get the sugar clumping I've received other times I've made candied ginger. Yum!

best crystalized ginger recipe out there, easy to do, house smells delicious and keeps for weeks. Am lucky to live near a terrific farmers market for fresh ginger at 1.19/pound! Thanks Alton Brown for another great recipe.

Takes a while to crystallize, but it is so worth the time. It is absolutely divine cut into strips on top of vanilla bean ice cream. My husband ate majority of the batch and then asked me to make more. Ginger is pretty cheap at Asian food markets, as well as other produce (esp. in NYC so if you have one near by you should check it out.

So much better than any store bought ginger. I used this in my ginger snaps and it was very tasty. I can't wait to try it next summer in the peach upside down cakes he made.

Terrific recipe, and once you've done it a couple of times it's a snap. The result is infinitely better than any store-bought candied ginger. It helps to watch the video to get a good idea of what it looks like in the pan when it's done - it's probably a pretty short window, but once you've seen it it's hard to miss. I just candied 2 pounds of baby ginger, and it's the best ever - very tender and a little milder than previous batches made with mature ginger. It was so nice not to have to peel or saw through tough old woody ginger. I wish I could get baby ginger all the time. Tomorrow I'll make Alton's ginger snaps, which, largely because of the candied ginger from this recipe, are the best in the world.

I too had trouble getting the liquid to cook down at medium heat so after 20 minutes, I increased the heat to medium high and let it boil rapidly for an additional 15 minutes. The result was perfect, however, I only ended up with 11oz.
To answer the question about using this method for citrus rind, yes it can be used but you have to bring the rind to a boil, drain, bring it to a boil again at least 5 or 6 times to get rid of the bitterness that rinds tend to have.

Wow. This was really easy and the candied ginger was amazing. It was less expensive and much more tasty then what you can buy in the store.
