Kens caramelized ginger snacks

Here's an awesome sweet I make whenever I run out of it. caramelized ginger snacks!

Ingredients:
2 large ginger rhizomes.
Sugar.
Water.

Peel ginger rhizomes with a teaspoon, doesn't have to be perfect, just take most of it off as it can be bitter if the rhizomes are old.

Cut into thin slices.

Put in pot and add roughly equal amount of water and bring to a boil. Boil until water is reduced to at least half.

Add as much table sugar (or cane sugar if you wanna be fancy) as the original amount of sliced ginger and boil until the sugar starts to crystallize. Carefull to not burn, but it's ok and even good if it browns a bit.

Quickly spread out on a cake rack or cool plate.

When cool it goes completely dry, hack in smaller pieces if it clumped up a bit. Store in a plastic food container.

Fucking delish I tells ya! It's HOT, but not chilly hot, very warming.

This stuff has a million uses. In cakes, as a snack, over cereals (Godlike in homemade trailmix, excellent with coffee or tea etc..
