Ingredients

Step cooking

1. For cooking, we will use fresh ginger root. Its amount depends on how much you want to get the finished dish. We took 500 g of ginger. We rinse it and peel with a potato peeler. If there is no such device at home, you can use an ordinary knife.
   
2. Peeled ginger into thin slices or cubes.
   
3. We send it to the pan and fill it with water so that ginger is completely covered with it. We put on the fire, let it boil. Make the fire small and cook for 10-15 minutes.
   
4. Drain the ginger, leaving a small amount in a separate bowl. Leave the ginger in the pan and add sugar and the remaining broth to it. The amount of sugar depends on how sweet you want to make it.
   
5. Let us boil and cook, stirring constantly, until all the water has boiled away.
   
6. Cover the dish with parchment paper and spread the ginger. If desired, each piece can be rolled in white or brown sugar.
   
7. We let it dry for 10-15 minutes and can use it. Candied ginger will be an excellent healthy dessert for tea or any other favorite drink. It can also be added to sweet pastries. Pies and muffins with candied ginger are very tasty. Store in a lidded container in a cool, dry place. Shelf life up to 3 months.
