Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 2 medium knobs of fresh ginger approximately 1 inch in diameter, 3 inches in length each, or 1.5 ounces of ginger total
- 6 cups water (1.4 liters)
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener of choice I recommend a stevia/erythritol blend (64 g)
Instructions
- Peel skin off knobs of ginger, then slice into very thin slices, approximately 1/8" thick (0.3 cm).
- Add slices of ginger to a pot with water. Bring to a boil and boil until ginger is soft (approximately 30 minutes).
- Drain all the water except for 1/4 cup. Add ginger, remaining water and sweetener to a pan, and turn to medium heat. Simmer until all water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and place ginger onto a cookie rack or sheet to dry. Sprinkle with additional sweetener, if desired. Once fully dry, move candied ginger to an air-tight container. Store at room temperature for up to a week.
- NOTE: If your house is humid, the ginger may not dry completely. If this happens, I recommend putting in a dehydrator, or an oven at a low temperature until fully dried.
