AKA mock candied ginger, this vintage recipe simmers zucchini and ground ginger in sugar for hours until thick, syrupy and translucent, then infuses in the jar overnight. The taste is just like crystallized ginger from the gourmet shop! Read more Note: NI includes all the syrup, although you won't eat it all. See less
