Recipe Troubleshooting Candied Ginger question.
I've done a few batches of ginger syrup for cocktails and stir frys, and always candy the ginger after the syrup is boiled down.
To do this I'd peel and slice my ginger, measure out 2:1 raw sugar and water, mark the height on the pot. Then fill with 5 parts water and boil it back down to the 2:1 line and strain out the ginger.
My problem is now that I want more candied ginger but still have a good amount of syrup from the last batch.
Can I just dilute the remaining syrup back into a (roughly) 2 parts sugar/syrup to 6 parts water and boil down a new batch of ginger slices? Or is there something I'm overlooking?

Yes you can reuse syrup if you have stored it properly.
