I am in LOVE!

Sliced by hand (no mandoline Cooked and drained as directed. Reserved all liquid. (It was after midnight. So instead of cooking it, I tossed drained ginger with equal weight of sugar.

The next morning, I cooked the ginger & sugar in a non-stick 4 qt pan on high and stirred constantly until the syrup looked like honey. Turned heat down to med-high, and stirred constantly. Additional liquid was not necessary. There was at least 1 cup of liquid. Turned it out onto rack as directed and spread pieces out.

Strained reserved liquid (I had 1 pint and made a simple syrup in the same pot. Allowed steam to wash down the sugar crystals. Could not waste them! Thinking about ginger soda.

I've been boiling my thinly sliced ginger for about 3 hours and it's *still* hard ... does this ever cook through?

This was amazing and I have never had Candied Ginger before. Bought 12 oz of ginger for $2.22 and used the spoon method to peel it. Cooked for about 45 minutes but I also cut the ginger by hand and had to add an additional two cups of water (since I cooked it for 10 more minutes. Still used 1/4 water so mine crystallized in about 35 minutes. It does happen quickly. The second you see sugar in the bottom it's done and it finishes as you take it out of the pan!

I took my time after adding the sugar, so it took me much longer to evaporate the water. However, as it starts to foam, it goes VERY QUICKLY- you have to hover over the pan for a bit until it's done, stirring constantly, to prevent it from burning. I also had my sheet pan and rack on the stove, near the burner I was cooking on, so I could transfer it quickly! You have to act fast or it's burnt! This is not a recipe you can take on if you have other things going on. It really requires your full attention. Finished product is tasty, and has a lot of heat to it, actually! I'll make it again.

I use the left over ginger slices from making the ginger ale recipe to make this. If you like ginger you are getting two recipes from the same ginger this way. It takes a little bit of time, but it is easy to make.

I followed the recipe and I ended up with starting to burn carmelized, very hard ginger. It was like glass. Great flavor, but not what you guys got.

Cut by hand a little thicker but worked just fine. It crystalized in about 35 minutes but I had the heat on low so I did not have to pay as close attention.
