Instructions

  1. In a pan, mix the cane juice, sugar, water and grated ginger.
  2. Gently bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  3. Cook over medium heat without stirring, about 15 to 20 minutes, until a drop hardens in a glass of cold water.
  4. Remove from the heat and strain if needed to remove the ginger fibres.
  5. Quickly pour onto an oiled tray and let it cool slightly.
  6. Score the pieces with an oiled knife before it hardens completely.
  7. Let it cool fully, then snap the pieces apart and keep them dry.

Variations and tips
