- No need to buy candied ginger anymore when you learn how simple it is to make at home. It keeps for up to a month and can be used in baking or even as a sweet treat to nibble on.
You can find all my recipes on my blog www.carolineartiss.com/
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
150g fresh ginger
tiny pinch salt
Method:
Peel and slice ginger finely. Place in a pan and cover with water, bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 10 minutes, then drain.
Add the sugar and water to the pan and bring to the boil, add the ginger and pinch of salt and cook for 2 -3 minutes on a high heat.
Take off the heat and leave ginger to sit in the syrup for 15 minutes then drain the syrup through a sieve, you can keep this ginger syrup for making drinks with! Make sure you shake off as much excess liquid as possible from the ginger.
Spread 2 tbsp granulated sugar on a plate and toss the ginger pieces in the sugar. Spread ginger on a baking tray or wore rack and leave to dry and cool down. Once nearly dry you can sprinkle with more sugar if you like. Once cooled and dried you can store this in air tight container at room temperature up to 1 month.

Candied ginger on a pick is a beautiful and fragrant garnish for cocktails. One of my favorites is the penicillin. It’s scotch, honey ginger syrup, and lemon juice, shaken and poured on the rocks with a float of a smokier Islay scotch. The candied ginger garnish complements it perfectly.
I've just made some Candied ginger following your recipe and while I'm waiting for it to dry, I'm drinking the juice - it's delicious and I hope it will ease my aches and pains too. Thank you, Julian.
Did the aches and pains go away
Thanks! I have suffer from stomach pains & ginger is the only thing that helps with the pain. I make a batch of these about once a week & I snack on them while I work! ✌🏾
so sorry to hear about your stomach pains. I’m glad this recipe can help, I know I always turn to ginger and mint when I have a bad stomach ache 🙏🏼
thank you very tasty
With the ginger tea, if you add an equal part of green tea to it and mix in the honey while it’s still hot, it makes a delicious tea that can be enjoyed cold (my preferred way) or heated up when u r feeling down.
Ooh ! Sounds Good !
I read somewhere that heating honey can destroy its health benefits. Any thoughts on that??
I used to put honey in my hot tea until I read that. Then I switched to using sugar. But I still like to have a spoonful of honey daily.
You ever try putting a capful of Apple Cider Vinegar in your tea?? I tried it, loved it, and now my tea doesn't taste right without it!!
✌
Thanks for the feed back! I dried it in the dehydrator for 4 hrs. at about 115 degrees.It came out real tasty and good.Jimmy
I bet you can use a oven to at low heat .
The dehydrator is a great idea to lock in all nutrients and over 115 will destroy a lot of its phytonutrients.
I have been drinking ginger and lemon tea for a long time now but have now taken things a step further and crystalised the ginger used. Thanks to seeing your video. Simple and easy to do as I live aboard my boat.
Wonderful! thanks so much for commenting, and so cool you live on a boat :)
Thanks ! I'm gonna try it, as I do enjoy eating it for all the good reasons.
I chew it when i have a sore throat. Really helps!
Ginger is a real favourite of mine,especially as a hot drink with honey.It's far more effective as a digestive aid than anything else I've tried.Have a great Womens Day/Week.
Just learning to cook. I will try this today looks easy and tasty. Thank you for the Idea.
I'm making candied ginger as a nibble for after dinner coffee. Its good with vanilla ice cream. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! Can’t wait to try this.
I love ginger anything and making these for my husband as a surprise. Thank you for this amazing video and couldn't subscribe to your channel fast enough. Looking forward to more of your incredible creations. You and your loved ones have a blessed day ❤
I make a turmeric root and ginger root tea with black pepper, thyme and cannabis infused coconut oil from our own strain Strawberry Widow. And homemade veggie broth from veggie parts that I store in my freezer until I have enough for my large stockpot.
Thanks so much for sharing , I just have it around for a little treat after dinner and my guest loved it they ask me for the recipe when I said I made this and they also wanted to take some home so I went in the kitchen while we had tea and when time to go ( evening end ) they had a gift to remember this special evening . Yesss ginger candy in a little tin.thanks again for sharing.
Thank you so much just what i needed quick and easy recipe 😘😘💖you are beautiful hun
My sisters and mom love when I make this, its become a bit of an xmas tradition that bring it and they get some syrup to take home
Making some now! Thank you!!
Just bought my ginger, will try this! Thanks easy recipe!
The liquid is perfect for adding to hot chai tea! I'm cutting the sugar amount in half so that I can add honey to my tea. Thank you!
This is really great ! Love candied ginger and now I can make it ! Thank you *****
Thank you.
Btw, you really don't have to peel ginger,it is a waste if you do. I easily use halve a kilo per month for tea and cooking. It is good for you.
I love ginger - really looking forward to trying your recipe.
What a coincidence that you make this video this week as I made crystallized ginger and syrup for the first time, two days ago! I can't get enough ginger. I use the syrup for my morning tea. I used a pizza screen to dry overnight. Also made crystallized lemon and orange peel, but I have to sell it to others as candied jerky.
Lovely video thank you
I love Ginger. I buy so much of it at the ShopRite that the lady asked me if I'm going to build a mansion size gingerbread house LOL!
I freeze my Ginger and then run it under cold water scraping with a spoon. then I dice it up put it in a blender and cook it for 10 minutes. I then add a whole bunch of honey and fresh squeezed lemon juice, about 15 to 20 lemons. it's so concentrated which makes it so much more convenient that one gallon makes an equivalent of 3 gallons of Ginger honey and lemon juice
I forgot to add that I press it through a cheesecloth and eliminate the fiber
would it be good to use the syrup you made when you are doing the reheat?
I made this the other day and it was an absolute disaster start to finish. after 16 hours of stacking failure on top of failure I just ended of making. a too strong simple ginger syrup. I used it to make a too strong Kentucky mule and adjusted by switching to straight bourbon. it was fantastic after half the fifth and really took the edge off of my parents abandoning me at that fire station when I was a kid and my three failed marriages. so I would highly recommend making candied ginger 10/10
:D
cant wait to make this ❤️️
I love it" thank u
Thanks for sharing this!!
Can you put it in the oven on low to speed up the drying process??
Thanks. Great video.
Blueberry crumble or peach upside down cake are my favorite vessels for candied ginger.
Great Video, just made some candied ginger and it turned out great! Your Video helped a lot!
yay, that's so great to hear.. thank you for letting me know :)
wonderful!!!
Just planted some ginger
Hoping it will grow so I can
Try this recipe
Oh fantastic! Home grown ginger wow. Hope it grows and you get to check out the recipe :)
I planted the ginger in mid September
It is only now in early November
It is starting to sprout
Auckland city is only subtropical
There is a good video by “Footprints in the garden” showing how to grow store bought ginger. That’s my real plan, but after cutting out the eyes and sprouting them, you still have most of the ginger root left. So, that I will use for candy. Yum!
Three ginger plants came up
And are doing well
Making a Norfolk Ginger Cake for Xmas thank you for the video really useful
Beautiful - love your accent as well!
Do you let it " sit and steep" on or off the heat? If on the heat, do you keep the heat on any setting ?
Caroline you are very sweet thank you for this awesome ginger recipe ^_^
Thanks a lot Caroline !!! =)
OMG that looks yummy and the candy as well.
Creepy..
Just kidding lol that was fucking hilarious
do you sharp your teaspoons?
very good
Great job on the video
Ginger is also probably the best antiemetic there is to treat nausea, as one who has long lasting migranes ginger is invaluable.
Hi there enjoyed your video and tried out the recipe. I've had these drying in direct sunlight for 2 days now.
Still seems a bit wet but maybe these are supposed to be soft and pliable?
Anyway wondering if I could accelerate the drying process by putting these in a 200⁰ oven for 30 min. or so.
Thoughts?
I read that you can dry it on 90°C for 5 hours.
could you bake them to make them dry out faster?
❤ thank you
would it work if you cut it into strips?
Amazing video
Ginger Snaps!! I'm working out a way to use the ginger from ginger ale instead of throwing it out. I have always loved ginger snaps !! =)
how about raw or brown sugar instead of white sugar to coat the ginger
You stole my thought
Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added. Your body doesn’t know the difference between raw and white sugar. Raw sugar will be processed by your body the same as white
@@Babybookieboo but why is brown sugar much more expensive?
@@Babybookieboo, white sugar is made from molasses.
I also make candied orange peels. My son likes putting the sticks in his tea.
I'm using your recipe for candied ginger to make a special holiday treat! Cranberry Bliss Bars!! let's see how it turns out! your recipe is quick & easy! Thanks! Happy Holidays
Cranberry Bliss Bars - post the recipe? Thanks.
Can you dry it in a Dehydrater Nesco brand to speed up the drying process?
scooteroreo1 You can set it on fire and eat the charcoal 😈😈
nice. ya ginger is really good for health.
I enjoyed this, very nicely done. I'm making it for fruit cake.
I'm thrilled you did not throw out the juice!!:)
I appreciate your sharing.
Thanks so much for commenting! and hope the fruit cake came out lovely!

Throwing out the water would be a waste of delicious flavour.
My batch of candied ginger has just turned to syrup and didn't crystallize.... what did I do wrong.... is there any way I can salvage it?
Would it be okay to substitute coconut sugar for the white sugar?
Dalila Cunha make a small test batch and tell us if it worked, you could be a foodie pioneer
I need it for sea sick
Looks delicious. I subscribed
One cup of sugar is 225 grams. So about 2:1 ratio ginger to sugar?
Of course you keep the liquid - it’s full of delicious flavour that would be a shame to throw out!
You are lovely and as sweet as the candid ginger, but I digress, I've wondered how to do this for a while so thank you and I'm subbing.,>😆
Hi!! awe that's so great, and thanks so much for subbing - yay! Hope you enjoy plenty more of my recipes!! x
I Use It For My Diabetic Neuropathy ( Autumn And Spring Bed Time Treat ) Along With Ginger Oil As A Topical Treatment ;
aaaaw u r soooo cuuuute!
Can one use brown sugar?
I am waiting for the ginger to dry. Hope it comes out good. Sure smells great
Ohhh yay. hope it came out delicious for you!
I made some, but it as very strong, like someone had added hot peppers to it. Do you have a way to tone down that harsh after taste?
By the way, I use the ginger flavored water and sugar leftovers to make ginger wine:).
I saw one video that said to change the water 3 times while boiling. That should reduce the heat.
Yummy
I like to cut the ginger coins into julienne so it isn't as strong as a whole piece. Enjoyed the simplicity of this recipe. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching Rex :) Glad you enjoyed and love hearing how other people make theirs too :) Thanks!!
How about coating it in dark chocolate?
I like the way you think.
I make Ginger Beer. It works great.
We use it in home made Ginger snap cookies
What's the end texture of the ginger? Is it gummy or crunchy?
more crunchy...
Yup Yup yummy! Candy looks good too! ;)

Why not continue the process with the original ginger juice (ie over straining it off and replacing it with water)?
cover it with enough water to cover it
Where in the UK specifically is this accent from?
I dry the skin and peelings make ginger powder
after extracting the juice all the goodness is gone ; is it not ?
Looking forward to trying this. Buying candied ginger in the U.S. is expensive!
Hope you enjoy and once you know how to make it you'll never need to buy it again! :) x
Just bought ginger and I don’t know what to do with it lol. Gunna make these
I use it for Ginger snaps and tea.
Cook the saved liquid down with sugar and lemon and use when making baklava!!!
Ooooooo Sweet! :)
Muddle ginger (small piece) 2oz of Bourbon / 1oz of simple syrup / .5oz of lime juice./ slice of candied ginger for garnish.
Thanks ginger spice
thanks. before finding this youtube channel i thought candied ginger was difficult to make. i look forward to simple recipes and shall try this one. how many grammes or millilitres is a cup? i live in Sweden. here everything is metric. fresh ginger is extremely expensive so i want to grow it myself, organically at home. the trouble is you have to find root that has not been treated to prevent sprouting. not easy.
how sad these things are so many in africa:cameroon

It’s just equal parts sugar and water by volume. I used an Australian “cup”, which is simply 250 ml. An imperial cup is slightly larger, and a US cup is slightly smaller, but as long as you use the same cup for both measurements you still get simple syrup.
Good lord this lady is adorable.
You are adorablee cute that I forgot about the Ginger :)
Using for Asian Plum Sauce!
can one use raw sugar?
Absolutely
PS, love you accent!
i love every bit of her
You should try Indian "Inji Murappa" (இஞ்சி முரப்பா) :)
❤❤
I've been on a boring diet since dinosaurs roamed the earth, and one thing that makes it bearable is candied ginger ! i mix blueberries , pineapple, or whatever with cottage cheese, then add chopped candied ginger.
Add to ice cream???
make moscow mule with the syrup ^^ cheerz
