 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2  pound         fresh ginger

  1 1/2  cups          sugar
  1 1/2  cups          water

Crystallizing ginger is a lengthy process, but having these choice sweets
on hand is reward enough.

1. Peel 1/2 pound fresh ginger and slice 1/4 inch thick. Bring to a boil in
water to cover. Simmer, covered for 2+1/2 hours. Drain, simmer in fresh
water for another hour, or until tender. Drain.

2. Bring to a boil 1+1/2 cups sugar, 1+1/2 cups water, and 2 tablespoons
light corn syrup; cook for 2 minutes. Add the ginger. Remove from the heat
and let stand until cool, or overnight.

3. Again bring the syrup to a boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 to
3 hours, or until the ginger is translucent. If the syrup thickens too
quickly, thin with a little hot water.

4. Remove the pan from the heat and set the ginger pieces on a wire rack to
dry for a few hours. Roll them in granulated sugar and store in a glass jar.
