I've made my own crystalized ginger, but I don't remember where I got the directions; I think from the Internet. It's just like making candied orange or lemon rinds. I've just moved to a new house, so my holiday baking will be limited this year, but I'm going to make mock mincemeaat (no meat!) today. Tomorrow I'll make the pie crusts, bake a couple of pies, and then do one or two daily until the ingredients run out.
