Ginger Crystals

Ingredients

• 3 level tablespoons of gelatine
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 2/3 cup of crystallized ginger, cut in tiny bits

Instructions

Soak gelatine in 1/2 cup of cold water for one hour. Then place sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan that is free from grease. Bring to a boil and cook for five minutes, then add the prepared gelatine. Stir to dissolve thoroughly, then bring to a boil again and cook for twelve minutes. Remove from the fire and add lemon juice and cystallized ginger. Rinse an oblong pan with cold water and drain well. Turn in the cooked mixture and set in a cool place for twelve hours to become firm. Then loosen from the pan and remove. Turn on the table and cut into blocks. Roll in granulated sugar and let stand to crystallize.
