Original Text
Candied Ginger. TAKE an ounce of race ginger grated fine, a pound of loaf sugar beat fine, and put them into a preserving pan with as much water as will dissolve the sugar. Stir them well together over a very slow fire till the sugar begins to boil. Then stir in another pound of sugar beat fine, and keep stirring it till it grows thick. Then take it off the fire, and drop it in cakes upon earthen dishes. Set them in a warm place to dry, and they will be hard and brittle, and look white.
