Spring Ginger Simmered in Honey

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
Cooking Instructions

Put the sliced ginger, honey and lemon juice in a pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low-medium, an simmer for 30 to 40 minutes while skimming off any scum. When the ginger has turned a light caramel color and still retains some crispiness, it's done!
