CANDIED GINGER
Steps:
- Spray a cooling rack with nonstick spray and set it in a half sheet pan lined with parchment.
- Peel the ginger root and slice into 1/8-inch thick slices using a mandoline. Place into a 4-quart saucepan with the water and set over medium-high heat. Cover and cook for 35 minutes or until the ginger is tender.
- Transfer the ginger to a colander to drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Weigh the ginger and measure out an equal amount of sugar. Return the ginger and 1/4 cup water to the pan and add the sugar. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar syrup looks dry, has almost evaporated and begins to recrystallize, approximately 20 minutes. Transfer the ginger immediately to the cooling rack and spread to separate the individual pieces. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Save the sugar that drops beneath the cooling rack and use to top ginger snaps, sprinkled over ice cream or to sweeten coffee.
GINGERSNAP COOKIES
These triple-ginger gingersnap cookies strike a sweet balance between spice and sweet molasses with a crisp crunch.In the early days of commercial aviation, ginger cookies or "snaps" were often served during turbulence. I don't know if they work, but my version with ginger, cardamom, and cloves sure taste good.Both U.S. standard and metric measurements are listed, but for consistently delicious results, go metric. This recipe first appeared in Season 12 of Good Eats.Photo by Lynne Calamia

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 half-sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cardamom, cloves, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
- Cream the brown sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on low speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the molasses, egg, and fresh ginger, and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Lower the mixer speed to "stir," and add the candied ginger until just combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until well combined.
- Using a 2-teaspoon-sized scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared half-sheet pans, approximately 2 inches apart. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 10 minutes for slightly chewy cookies or 12 minutes for crisper cookies, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
- Remove from the oven and leave the cookies on the sheet pan for 30 seconds before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with all of the dough. You will use each pan approximately twice.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days. If desired, you may scoop and freeze the cookie dough on a sheet pan and, once frozen, transfer to a zip-top bag to store. Bake directly from the freezer, following the above procedure.

CANDIED GINGER(ALTON BROWN)
From Good Eats, episode: Ginger: Rise of the Rhizome. I might try adding a vanilla bean to the simmering water next time. Or how about adding a little lemon peel? The candied ginger is also good dipped in dark or bittersweet chocolate.

Steps:
- Spray a cooling rack with nonstick spray and set it in a half sheet pan lined with parchment.
- Peel the ginger root(use the back of a spoon, it gets into all the grooves) and slice into 1/8-inch thick slices using a mandoline. Place into a 4-quart saucepan with the water and set over medium-high heat. Cover and cook for 35 minutes or until the ginger is tender.
- Transfer the ginger to a colander to drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Weigh the ginger and measure out an equal amount of sugar. Return the ginger and 1/4 cup water to the pan and add the sugar. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar syrup looks dry, has almost evaporated and begins to recrystallize, approximately 20-40 minutes. Make sure you continously stir. It may feel like you've been stirring the ginger forever, but when it starts to crystallize, it will happen very quickly.
- Transfer the ginger immediately to the cooling rack and spread to separate the individual pieces. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Save the sugar that drops beneath the cooling rack and use to top ginger snaps, sprinkled over ice cream or to sweeten coffee.
- Any liquid can be used to flavor tea or used for hot tea. Some people said they had to cook it longer. It's worth every minute. :).

Steps:
- Cut ginger into 2-inch pieces and slice lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices. Score ginger slices by pricking with a fork.
- Toss ginger with sugar in a bowl.
- Combine ginger-sugar mixture and water in a large skillet or wok; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts into a syrup and starts to crystallize, about 1 hour. Continue stirring until syrup is mostly crystallized and ginger comes together in a pile in the center of the skillet and very little syrup drains out; remove from heat.
- Toss ginger slices gently to cool and separate from excess sugar. Spread slices out on a tray to cool and dry.

GINGER BANANA BREAD
This is a very moist banana bread with lots of banana flavor. There is a bit of spice for those who like a bit of 'extra' in their banana bread. This recipe still has a big banana flavor with a scrumptious note of spice to make it really special.
