I made it once and didn't know about changing the water. It was pretty intense, but the hot burning sensation was a nice sensation for my taste buds.... almost like hot pepper. I love it super hot too!!!
I believe it's the components that give ginger it's pungent and spicy flavor are also what give it antiviral and antibacterial properties. While I love the flavor of ginger, I eat it for it's health benefits as well, so I will not be draining the water. Or maybe drain some of it, and save that for ginger tea. When you simmer it to the point of making a syrup, you can also save that to add to desserts. Some recipes even suggest this. In any case, I wouldn't want to waste all the health benefits and flavor! I don't understand why so many ppl are cutting it thin. I have purchased candied ginger that is in square chunks and it's awesome! Maybe you just need to make sure what you buy is fresh and young so it's not woody. All I know is that the thicker pieces were tender and tasted great!
@@playballpaintball3730 as soon as it starts boiling. So, put the ginger in right when you put the water on the heat, let it boil, change water when the boil starts, do two more time, and you're good to go.
I love ginger, and the candied ginger is especially lovely when coated in chocolate. The syrup left over would be nice to have on hand for a toddy. Thank you for sharing :)
here's a suggestion from a career cook witha recipe passed down from my mother. Where she got it? I don't know but I prefer these results. 1. peel ginger with spoon. 2. grate or fine mince ginger. 3. combine a 2/1 ratio sugar to ginger (by volume) in a skillet or low sauce pan with just enough water to coat. 4. bring to boil on high . 5 cook and stir and cook and stir and cook and stir from watery to light syrup to heavy syrup to "GLOOP" all while lovering the flame to PREVENT CARMELIZATION. 6. CRITCAL STEP! Once solid crystals start forming at the bottom of the pan, turn to the lowest heat you can and STIR STIR STIR LIKE CRAZY! The goal now is to cool the molten mixture and evaporate excess water. 6.2 once the "BLOB" is really thick remove from heat and use a fork to areate and DRY. You'll know you're doing this right as small crystals become big crystals as it "blob" cools. work it with the the fork breaking up the blob and work until its becomes granulated again (with chunks of ginger). 7. once "dry" place onto wax paper to cool. it should look like sugar with ginger chunks not ginger coated in sugar. 8. bag and tag ina cool dry place and add to green tea, the end :)
That sounds more like cooked ginger sugar than candied/crystallized ginger. If that's the case, it cannot be interchanged with crystallized ginger in baked goods because it would dissolve (bakers usually go to the trouble of candying it so it retains a shape when you put it in a batter) Incidentally, you could probably eliminate the cooking step from your mother's recipe entirely and store the ginger-moistened sugar the same way you would store brown sugar. The flavor will probably be more raw, but the process is easier and there's no risk of giving yourself 4th degree burns on molten sugar. Bakers and barkeeps do it with everything from citrus zest and herbs to scrap vanilla pods.
If you don't you will have very spicy, candied ginger! The changing of water does not take away the flavor but does take away the spiciness. Thanks for stopping by!
Ginger is a great medicine. It is an essential element for the human body. You are benefiting people with your lively smile bright and excellent presentation. You have served a wonderful recipe of ginger. Thank you very much I wish you long life and good health
love ginger too,good for the tummy,replacing 3 times of the water is good enough for my taste as they can be piping hot on the throat,thanks for the video.
I made a batch last evening. My Ginger was rather broad so my slices were larger. They are soooo delicious and far better than the shop/store ones, and much less expensive too! I am going to get lots of Ginger 2morrow and make some to give in little selophane packets at Christmas, with red and green Tartan bows!Thanks again... Hugs. :)
My mom ate ginger whenever she made Kimch.... I do try that when I was little girl but it't too strong to me that time. I do make ginger cinnamon tea often and ginger candy sometimes but I just washed good. Now I see why my hubby can't drink my ginger tea haha... I love ginger!
Great channel!!!!! I LOVE Ginger candy but it's so expensive where I live. Until I saw Food Wishes use it in a cookie recipe, I never thought of making my own. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Edit: reminder to self, it can last a year in the syrup in the fridge.
Now I see why it's so expensive to buy candied, a more healthy, if spicier, solution is to rest the ginger in honey and eat it later. It doesn't affect the taste of the honey itself, while still mantaining to be healthier.
Angela Malini The alchemist! I’ll bet if you save all 3 extractions then combine them in a pot on low heat, reduce to a high concentrate, you’ll be left with a very powerful medicine that you would only need a dab per day.
Excellent commentary and presentation!!! I love listening to you teach because you are a Natural and your Enthusiasm has inspired me to make some very soon!!! Thanks greatly for sharing your efforts!!! Humanity NEEDS to get BACK to using these Natural Remedies to aid the body instead of relying on too many toxic drugs that killing many people across N. America!!😇🐇
Hi there! You know, I really don't know what is going on! Thank you for the heads up, by the way. I have three more videos on this SD card. I guess it is time to switch! Take care!
Great I love candied orange, grapefruit and lemon peel! I have not tried ginger but next time I will! Merry Christmas And Happy New Year! Thanks for all your great recipes!
I would think cooking it in fresh water 3 times would cook the nutrients out of the ginger...right? I mean...that's why we microwave veggies rather than boil...to preserve nutrients. Anyone with knowledge on that?
I paid almost seven dollars for a small bag of candied Ginger on Amazon from Trader Joes and I loved everything except the price . I'm growing Ginger and Tumeric now for my health . I wondered if this would work for both and why did you boil it 3 times and discard the water .
I made it once and didn't know about changing the water. It was pretty intense, but the hot burning sensation was a nice sensation for my taste buds.... almost like hot pepper. I love it super hot too!!!
you don't have to change the water, if you like it super spicy. I like it super spicy. It works similar to cough drop.

I always wanted to know how to make it. I like my spicy and i won't be changing the water. Thank you.
I change the water twice and its still surprisingly spicy ;)

I make this every holiday season. It's my secret ingredient in my fruitcakes, and a key ingredient in some of my other holiday confections.
Perfect Paul! Thanks for letting me know 😊
Can you use the water that you changed, twice, for making a warming drink, or hot toddy?
That sounds like a great idea Dolores! Thanks for watching the video! 😊

I’m going to try this. I bought some crystallized ginger candy and it was so delicious! Thanks for making your video short & sweet. 👍
I hope it comes out perfect for you! Thanks so much! 😊

Pumpkin Smasher79 Do you cook or hydrate the ginger at any point?
Probably keep that first water where you boiled that ginger. Add some honey into it and enjoy some ginger tea.
You are absolutely right! I drink ginger tea all the time and should have known better! Thanks for stopping by!
you have taken all the essence out of the ginger by draining 3 times
Angela Malini The alchemist! I’ll bet if you save all 3 extractions then combine them in a pot on low heat, reduce to a high concentrate, you’ll be left with a very powerful medicine that you would only need a dab per day.
great! Nice.I like it.
oh yum yum yum .. this looks very delicious !

Why do you change the water? I was just wondering.
Love your smile!
Hi there! This is chewy! Thank you for stopping by!

Hi Chef,
could you tell me the best way to store the ginger so it stay pliable after the cooking process?
Is hard or chewy?
Could you do a video on candied pineapple? :3
I paid almost seven dollars for a small bag of candied Ginger on Amazon from Trader Joes and I loved everything except the price . I'm growing Ginger and Tumeric now for my health . I wondered if this would work for both and why did you boil it 3 times and discard the water .
Looking forward to trying the recipe. It's hard to find non-imported ones in the stores and I completely avoid the ones from china.
On drying the ginger with sugar, can i use my dehydrator?
How long can this ginger candy be kept?
i never knew you could candy Ginger... thanks for sharing this ! i bet my hungry subscribers will love this if they follow the links....
whole vitamins boiled out with water
This is wonderful! The candied ginger can be pricey. Uprated.
Thanks!
Hello
I dont eat white granulated sugar. Can I substitute it with honey, palm sugar or sugar in the raw ?
Thank you
danuta strauss try testing out small batches
will only one gigabyte of RAM do the trick? also is it good on fruit salad?
I think this would be wonderful on fruit salad. Thanks!
Nice vidio
Can you use this recipe to crystallize ginseng?
i havent been on youtube in a long time, nice to see you again maryanne, but what happened? you used to have such a clear video!
Why do you need to boil the ginger so often?
In this video I am trying to make them so that they are not so spicy. Thanks!
se te olvido probar los results en este video, jaja :p
Could not find recipe. Grrrr
you are beautifule lik ginger
Too thin
I preserved mother's corpse with ginger and she has been in the fruit cellar for almost 55 years and she still smells fresh 😈😈😁😁😁😁
Too much sugar consume, not healthy
Agreed! Thanks for watching the video
Thanks!
