I'm back!

Hey there guys! Sorry that I have not posted recently, i just got my tablet back so hopefully i will be able to post more often. Anyhow, aabout a month ago two of our hens, rule and pully, both went broody, in the exact same nest! So now we have 8 lovely chicks.


Today's project is a simple recipe for a fall/ winter ginger candy.
It also has a bonus: you can use the cooking syrup in coffee or tea for a gingery boost, or throw the leftover syrup in your natural medicine kit as a nasea relief syrup.


GINGER CANDY RECIPE

1 cup sliced ginger, peeled
2 cups water
1 half cup of white sugar,plus 1cup for coating

Peel and slice the ginger. Place in a pot and boil with your water. After it comes to a boil, keep it on the stove and keep it boiling for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes add one half cup of sugar.  Stir constantly!! Boil for ten more minutes. After ten minutes coat a baking sheet with parchment paper,a silpat, or foil. Coat each well drained piece of ginger in sugar. Then place it on the baking sheet. Let dry. Makes a great candy for sick people.


Enjoy!

Much love, crane song and the mini jbs
