SC - poison in peach pits

[Chris Stanifer]

>The times we have done candied ginger it turned dark as well, a dark brown.

I buy a commercial candied ginger that is dark.  It's cut in cubes instead of
thin slices like ordinary ginger.  I find that the flavor is much, much richer
than the normal stuff.  I would imagine that they do treat the normal light-colored
ginger with something like the sulfites that they use to treat dried fruit.
 In which case, such treatment would not be period.  I would imagine the only
treatments available in period would be acidic juices, like we use to treat
sliced apples.  If that doesn't do the job, I'd just leave 'em dark.  Doesn't
hurt.
