INSTRUCTIONS
In a small saucepan, place the ginger, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the water.
Simmer over very low heat for approximately 10 minutes; the syrup should be
thick but not brown. Remove from the heat and let stand for 30 minutes.
Return to the heat, add the half-and-half and vanilla, and bring just to
the simmer over medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining 1/4
cup sugar until light and lemon colored. Slowly pour in the hot cream,
whisking to combine. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat over
medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken and
coats the back of a wooden spoon (it will register about 180 degrees).
Immediately strain and chill, covered. To prevent a skin from forming, one
trick is to cover with plastic wrap right down on the surface of the
custard.
Yield: 3 cups
