Candied Ginger

Ingredients: 350gr fresh ginger, 225gr sugar, 120ml water

Place the ginger in a saucepan, cover with water and boil for about 15 minutes until tender. Drain, let the ginger cool and peel it. Cut the ginger into approx. 5mm slices.

In a heavy-based saucepan, dissolve the sugar in 120ml of water and cook without stirring over a low heat for about 15 minutes until the mixture becomes syrupy.
Add the ginger slices and continue to cook gently,

shaking the pan occasionally to prevent the ginger sticking, until it has absorberd the syrup.

Remove the cooked ginger slices, place them on a wire rack and leave to cool.

Eat in the morning to give you energy, with tea or just when you feel like :)
