I needed candied ginger for a ginger cookie recipe that I was planning on making for Valentine’s day at The Union. We gave out heard shaped ginger cookies to customers! I’m going to post my ginger cookie recipe another time. This is the first time that I’ve candied ginger and it turned out amazing! It’s delicious. It’s hard to stop grabbing a few and eating them. I placed them on this rack to cool overnight. I used the David Lebovitz recipe:

With Lebovitz, you can’t go wrong. Once they were dry, I sprinkled sugar and kept them in a container. They were all used a few days later. One pound of ginger for over 100 cookies!
