Ingredients
This recipe requires just a few simple ingredients. You will need:
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of water
- 1 pound of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 1 12 ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
To make the candied ginger, start by combining the sugar and water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Once it reaches a boil, add the ginger slices and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the ginger for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the ginger is tender and slightly translucent, remove it from the heat and drain off the syrup. Spread the ginger slices out on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with the white sugar. Toss to coat the ginger and then let cool.
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or the microwave. Dip each piece of ginger in the melted chocolate and then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until the chocolate is set.
Notes
The candied ginger can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. The chocolate covered ginger should be stored in the refrigerator and eaten within a few days. If you have extra chocolate, you can use it to dip other fruits or nuts for a delicious treat.
