I am just using the same method I use for candied peel.  Peel the ginger, 
slice it up boil (forever) in sugar water, drain, set to drying, toss 
repeatedly in sugar.  I wonder if I soak the slices in fruit fresh first it 
may make a difference.  Well, as you say, it may be browner but it is still 
delicious.
