How to Store Candied Ginger

Candied ginger is a tasty treat that also provides nutrients to your body. After you've created your delicious candy, it's important to store it safely. By storing the ginger properly properly, it will last longer and maintain that fresh taste each time you decide to treat yourself or need it for a recipe. The key is to keep the candied ginger in an airtight container in a dry, cool temperature to keep the sugar from melting.

Things You'll Need

• Dish soap
• Glass jar

Instructions

1. Wash a glass jar with dish soap and warm water to remove any dust or debris. Let the jar air dry.

2. Put the candied ginger in the jar. Seal the lid as tightly as possible to ensure air does not get inside.

3. Store the jar in a cool, dark place. The back of any pantry or cabinet will work as long as it isn't directly beside a source of heat, such as a dishwasher or stove.

4. Use the candied ginger within three months.
