Aussies/ Brits Need Help With Candied Ginger
Decorating By sewsugarqueen Updated 16 Nov 2011 , 7:43am by JanH
Dear fellow commonwealth members,
Help!!! have no ginger to make gingerbread but I do have Australian dried crystal ginger ( easy to get in Canada and I love it in spite of cost). How much of this could I substitute for 1 teaspoon ground ginger. I do feel it is a bit stronger than dried ginger spice. Anyone ever try this before? Would appreciate advice.

Not Aussie or Brit, but found info on substituting powdered ginger for candied ginger:
(So just reverse the suggestions..)

Wow!!! Thanks for the information. It does help. All my recipes with candied ginger are all British and I know you normally don't find it in stores in the States so I thought our CC members from England or Australia would have more info on substituting it. I will let people know how it worked out when I actually bake the gingerbread. The dough has to be made and let sit minimum 24 hrs plus before cooking.
