I’ve been crushing on Ginger lately and this Candied Ginger Recipe will make you love this herb even more too! I recently did a blog post on using it in a detox bath and a plant profile post that goes into all the medicinal benefits. It’s truly an amazing herb to get to know and use!
Candied Ginger Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh Ginger root
- 1/2 cup pure cane sugar (try monkfruit for a sugar alternative!) plus more for coating
- 2 cups water for boiling
Directions
Step 1: Peel ginger and slice into small pieces (1/8″).
Step 2: Bring sugar and water to a boil and continue to boil until sugar is dissolved.
Step 3: Add sliced ginger into saucepan and simmer on low until tender (about 30 minutes).
Step 4: Transfer ginger to a wired rack and let dry a little.
Step 5: Pour 1/4 cup sugar into a bowl and toss ginger in sugar.
Step 6: Lay ginger out in a parchment lined baking sheet to cool. Store in airtight container for up to a month or up to 3 months in refrigerator.
Enjoy when nausea hits, as a cocktail garnish, to flavor your tea, in trail mix or whenever you want a little treat!
