candied ginger. redux

my candied ginger experiments have had quite the learning curve.  from little bitty discs to successfully non-molding strips.  this time i did giant chunks.  trade offs - least amount of work, most amount of cooking time, well worth it

peel ginger and cut large roots in half

boil in 1:1 ratio sugar syrup for 2-3 hours, adding additional water as needed, remove once slightly translucent and ...the color of canned peaches.  cover in sugar and let dry overnight.  recover in sugar, dump in a ziploc baggie, and freeze or refrigerate as needed
fin.
