Ingredients

 * fresh ginger rhizomes (roots)
 * Sugar
 * water

Directions

 * 1) Scrape or pare the skin off the ginger.
 * 2) You can cut it into sections or buds for ease of handling.
 * 3) Cut in thin slices across the grain.
 * 4) Place slices in a food processor or blender and chop as fine as possible.
 * 5) For each cup of packed, chopped ginger, add 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water.
 * 6) Bring to a boil, turn down and simmer for about 20 minutes.
 * 7) Cool and package in jars or plastic containers with lids.
 * 8) I like to keep a cup or two at a time in the refrigerator and freeze the rest in zipper freezer bags for later use.
 * 9) Don't be surprised that because of the high sugar content, the mixture doesn't freeze solid. That's okay.
