These are great sweet and spicy treats! They are large plump golden disks of sugar-dusted ginger gently poached to tenderness in syrup. Crystallized Ginger has a wonderful sweet and spicy ginger flavour. It adds texture and bold flavour to baked goods such as cookies, breads, muffins, scones, and cakes and is particularly delicious in dark Christmas cake. Candied ginger is an excellent flavouring in puddings, ice creams, and cheesecake. Its sweet pungency also adds texture and sweet spicy flavour to cranberry sauce and chutneys.
