Attention! Although ginger is a root vegetable, just like potatoes, you shouldn’t peel it, that is, remove a thick layer of skin with a knife, otherwise you risk throwing the useful layer into the trash can
To remove the skin in a thin layer, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife; if the root is young, the skin will be removed even with a hard sponge. So, now you cut the root into cubes or rings, whatever you like. Next, pour water into a saucepan and cook after boiling for 25-30 minutes. Remove the water, sprinkle the ginger pieces with sugar, as if you were doing it with a regular berry. The ginger should stand for 24 hours until it has absorbed all the granulated sugar, after which it is placed in a cool place in a glass jar. The candied fruits are ready.
Recipe "Traditional"
The recipe gets its name because candied fruits are most often made using syrup. This is how we will do it. So, you will need about a kilogram of ginger root. We have already said how to wash and peel, and cut too. Dissolve 500 grams of sugar in a liter of water, place it on the stove, and when the mixture boils, combine it with ginger pieces. The candied fruits will cook for 60 minutes, by the end of the time the syrup will be thick, and the ginger will change color to transparent and glossy. Next, you remove the syrup using a colander, sprinkle the pieces with granulated sugar, and place them to dry on parchment or just paper.
Advice! Do not pour out the syrup, it will harden and can be used in tea as a sweetener. It turns out to be a very unusual drink for your candied fruits, which, by the way, can be stored for several months.
Recipe “Equal parts of everything”
For these candied fruits, you take equal parts sugar and ginger root. Dissolve the first one in water so that there is 2.5 times more of it, put it on the fire, the second one, that is, ginger, wash, peel, cut and cook separately in water for 40 minutes. Then combine the sugar syrup and ginger root slices, cook, stirring constantly, until the pieces become transparent, the syrup almost boils away, and nothing burns. Next, take out the candied fruits, place them on parchment, sprinkle them with sugar again and place them in the oven to dry for half an hour. Dessert is ready.

The time is now when autumn periodically briefly turns into winter, and, conversely, winter weather quickly gives way to autumn. What does this mean for us? And this is a constant slush when you don’t know what to wear or wear. Shoes quickly get wet (there is, however, an option to make it more or less), clothes also become wet. And, if you don’t quickly get into the warmth, then consider that you have already caught a cold. Under these conditions, we are usually looking for how we can protect our body and not catch a cold, or maybe something even more serious. It is best to seek protection in folk remedies and refrain from taking medications for a longer time. And people have plenty of such funds. But we don’t know about all of them. And even if we do know, we are in no hurry to apply them. Candied ginger is one such remedy. These are the ones we will learn to cook.
We prepare candied ginger. From what and how?
You can easily find such candied fruits on sale. It's not a problem. But the price for such candied fruits is quite high. It’s easier to buy ginger and a few other ingredients and make them yourself. In general, candied fruits are not prepared from anything. In addition, they are also made from other products. From, for example, or They turn out quite tasty. In our case, probably, not everyone will like the taste. But our task is to prepare a healthy product that can protect us from colds when necessary.
How good are these candied fruits? This is a product that you can simply serve with tea. Another option is to use them in baking. That is, such candied fruits are crushed and added, for example, to muffins or cookies. If in some recipes you can still feel a certain bitterness, then in such candied fruits there is almost no bitterness.
The second feature of candied ginger is its use as a natural “pill”, which helps very well if, for example, you have a sore throat or just a sore throat. They solve this problem perfectly.
Recipe. What will you need and how to prepare it?
Of course, the root of the ginger itself, which we go to the store for, unless, of course, you grow it at home. This is also quite possible. Here's to you on this topic.
Candied ginger should be cut into thin slices. And for everything we need 200 grams. Next, our task is to remove all excess pungency from it. This can be achieved by boiling these slices for about 30 minutes. The main thing is that they are all completely under water. When you boil the ginger slices in this way, drain the water. We won't need it anymore.
Any candied fruit is usually prepared in sugar syrup. You will also need to cook this syrup. We will need six tablespoons of sugar for it, and 2 times less water, that is, three tablespoons (also tablespoons). Mix all the sugar thoroughly in this small amount of water. Once you have it boiling, it’s time to add our ginger slices to this syrup. These slices must be completely submerged. Next, they are simmered a little over low heat, and be sure to stir constantly.
When all the liquid has evaporated, you will need to turn off the fire. Be careful when cooking. Make sure that your slices and sugar do not burn.
Next, let everything cool and roll each ginger slice in granulated sugar. But first prepare a baking sheet where you will place these slices in sugar. To do this, it is covered with parchment paper.
Now these still wet candied fruits need to be dried. And when they are dry enough, you can transfer them from the baking sheet, for example, to a jar or other container. The main thing here is that this container has a good, airtight lid. If you seal them airtight, they can easily be stored for three months. Which is very good. After all, colds and flu can “walk” through the streets for quite a long time.
You don't need to eat a lot of these candied fruits. Just 1 or 2 pieces can protect you if you use them with tea. At the same time, their taste is quite pleasant. So they can be thoroughly sucked, like the same lollipop.
Although, probably, not everyone will like such candied ginger. Just as not everyone accepts the taste. Some people really like these blue and green berries, but others (I’m one of them too) simply can’t stand them, no matter how many times they try them. Try making these candied fruits. At the very least, you can save a lot if you compare the costs of preparing them and the finished product in stores.

Candied ginger pieces are not a delicacy for everyone, as it has a rather pungent taste. However, the benefits of such a dessert are undeniable and many use the gifts of nature to resist seasonal illnesses. We will be happy to share with you about five proven ways to prepare candied ginger at home.
To prepare candied fruits, you need to choose a fresh root with a smooth, light skin. Young ginger produces less pungent candied fruits, while old ginger produces quite spicy ones.
When preparing the root vegetable, you need to remember that the beneficial substances are concentrated under the skin itself, so you should peel it off the washed ginger in a very thin layer. Some people prefer to remove the skin by scraping it with a teaspoon. To make cleaning easier, the root is broken into small pieces.
Thoroughly peeled ginger is crushed into rings or long strips. The thickness of the slice depends on how spicy you want the finished product to be. Candied fruits made from thin slices will taste less pungent than those made from cubes or sticks.
Also, to get rid of excess bitterness, ginger is soaked in some recipes. To do this, the slices are poured with ice water and kept in this form for up to 3 days, changing the water every 12 hours.
Follow the instructions in the recipes and you will succeed!

Candied fruits prepared according to this recipe turn out to be similar to candies, since, due to long soaking and cooking, they lose most of their pungency.
Ginger slices are soaked in cold water for 3 days, changing the water 3-4 times during this time.
The soaked ginger is poured with water and boiled over medium heat for 20 minutes. Then the water is drained and new one is poured. Boil the root for another 20 minutes. The procedure is repeated a third time.
After cooking, place the ginger pieces in a colander and allow the excess liquid to drain completely.
