Peel the Ginger Root(use the Back of a Spoon, It Gets Into All the Grooves) and Slice Into 1/8-Inch Thick Slices Using a Mandoline. Place Into a 4-Quart Saucepan With the Water and Set Over Medium-High Heat. Cover and Cook For 35 Minutes or Until the Ginger Is Tender. |

Transfer the Ginger to a Colander to Drain, Reserving 1/4 Cup of the Cooking Liquid. Weigh the Ginger and Measure Out an Equal Amount of Sugar. Return the Ginger and 1/4 Cup Water to the Pan and Add the Sugar. Set Over Medium-High Heat and Bring to a Boil, Stirring Frequently. Reduce the Heat to Medium and Cook, Stirring Frequently, Until the Sugar Syrup Looks Dry, Has Almost Evaporated and Begins to Recrystallize, Approximately 20-40 Minutes. Make Sure You Continously Stir. It May Feel Like You've Been Stirring the Ginger Forever, but When It Starts to Crystallize, It Will Happen Very Quickly. |
