I have made this a few times in the past. It is very good and makes the
house smell wonderful when it is cooking. It was originally attributed
to "Lou".

Candied Ginger

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 or dice the ginger. 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.
