Ginger Syrup and Candied Ginger
This is simple recipe produces both great ginger syrup (useful in cocktails or to make your own ginger ale) and candied ginger.
2 cups peeled fresh ginger chopped or sliced as you like*
2 1/4 cups sugar
6 cups water
*You will be using this ginger to also create the candied ginger, so slice it how you would like to eat it, realizing the bigger chunks take a lot longer to cook.
