crockpot? now you're talking, that's my kind of cooking.

so your ginger looks like candied beets to me, I am used to a golden
color. I want to try to make candied ginger. I have peeled ginger in the
fridge and dont particularly care what shape it is cut into.

the question is what else besides simple syrup and karo syrup could we
cook it in?

how many of you think it would work to crockpot the ginger with
sweetened condensed milk? that is what I would like to try-in crockpot
on low for however long it takes.

koolaid? ginger ale? dr pepper? maple syrup?

i am not clear on the granulated sugar at the end part-is that just to
reduce stickiness? What about dusting the candy at the end with ground
ginger spice??

I can see the value of coating it with choc so you dont have all that
ugly grainy sugar and no stickiness once the choc hardens.
