I saw a recipe for a poundcake made with sweet simmered spring ginger in a cookbook. I wanted to make that cake so I made this. The cookbook used sugar, but I thought honey would be a healthier alternative.

This will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. If you want to keep it longer, it's better to freeze it.
If you want more ginger-flavored syrup, add more honey.
You can eat the ginger as-is, but chill it very very well!
Chop it up and use it in various recipes! Recipe by John Lee Cooker
