Candied Ginger

Candied ginger is made by simmering fresh ginger in sugar syrup and then coating it in granulated sugar. It combines the characteristic spicy heat of ginger with pronounced sweetness. In the kitchen, it is added to gingerbread, ginger biscuits, Christmas strudel, muesli, and chocolate desserts. It works well as a natural sweet snack, or as an addition to fruit salads, rice puddings, and Asian-style sauces. On its own, it is a popular treat and a natural remedy for nausea and digestive discomfort. Chopped candied ginger can replace fresh or ground ginger in baking, while adding extra sweetness.
