Bring to boiling over medium-high heat; continue boiling for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar; cool completely. Stir in ginger. In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine the pomegranate juice mixture, beets, and carrots. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 1/2 to 7 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 hours.

The water prevents the beets from staining your fingertips.
