In the way that sugar desiccates fresh ginger, pucker for me dear, and receive my good knight kiss
======== Footnote: Try this at home. Ingredients; a seal-able jar, thin (1/16th") slices of fresh ginger root, white to medium granular sugar. Place sliced ginger in the jar, pour sugar to cover ginger by half to full inch. Seal jar and vigorously shake. Let stand 48 hours. Stir liquid and add a very small amount of hot water if liquid is granular. Use liquid syrup like Vermont maple syrup. Honest.
