2cupsGinger Root
3cupsWater
3 ½cupsGranulated Sugar, divided
⅛tspSalt
1
Peel the ginger root with a spoon (it’s easier than a peeler). Slice on a mandolin or cut into cubes.
2
Add the ginger to a saucepot with the 3 cups of water. Boil the ginger for 20 minutes until the ginger is more pliable.
3
Strain the water from the ginger and hold the ginger in the bowl. Add the water back to the pot and add 3 cups sugar. Add the ginger and bring to a boil. Reduce the sugar water to a simmer and allow to reduce by 1/2.
4
Simmer for 30 minutes. Strain ginger from liquid. Reserve liquid. Place ginger pieces on a cooling rack and let them dry for 1 hour.
5
Toss ginger pieces in granulated sugar until coated and dry completely. Store in an airtight container like a mason jar.
6
Reserve the syrup in a separate mason jar (you’ve made ginger simple syrup).
