Cyndi Hackett posted a few different versions like 6-7 years ago.
This is the one I saved and use. The syrup is great in a marinade
too.


1 lb fresh ginger
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
Crockpot or slowcooker
more sugar for coating

Peel and slice the ginger. I like 1/4" dice which are great for
baking and nibbling. Mix sugar, water and corn syrup and heat in
crockpot on high until dissolved. Add ginger, and reduce heat to low
for 24 hours, until syrup is a golden brown. Allow to cool in syrup,
then drain, reserving syrup for pancakes, ice cream, or your other
favorite syrup uses. Toss the ginger in sugar until well coated.
Allow to dry on cooling racks for 24 hours and store in zip locks or
jars.
