#depending on where in the US you live your berry season might be earlier or later

[pippenpaddlopsicopolisthethird]

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

Black raspberries are coming back into season! I caught just the very earliest bushes with a couple of ripe berries apiece, which means that starting now I'll have about two or three weeks to go out berry-picking.

Today I only left with a couple of ounces of berries, but this time next week I'll probably be able to measure my haul in pounds.

I absolutely adore the color yellow oml it’s just one of those colors that makes me happy but at the same time I’m like indecisive cuz every color has its own vibes but i wine with yellow a lot . And for seasons idk I feel every season have something new it brings to the table so I can’t choose.. but I kinda like the colder seasons cuz I can wear my cozy sweaters lol. I’ve been doing classical dance for about 10 years and recently started doing urban for the past 3. I’m also learning contemporary cuz why not lol. I’m also such a art geek like I love to paint, draw, and even write from time to time. As for sports I do tennis oh and mbti type is ENFP . Sun sign Scorpio, moon in Aquarius, and rising Leo. [...]

 I hope you’re having a good day and thank you for ur time ! 💞

@golden-fields-with-berries Hello darling thanks sooo much for requesting it was lovely getting to know you. Sorry you had to wait so long school is really has really been a pain in the ass lately and I had to get extra study time. Anyways enough of that here ya go boo…✨⭐️

From Enhypen, I ship you with…Jungwon

Positive Side: Your relationship will last a longtime. First of all, your both very talented in the area of dancing and have enough experience to the point where it can take you to big places in your careers. Your both very straight forward, focused and would use good strategies to accomplish goals together as partners. Communication between ESTJ and ENFP personality types tend to focus a lot on the big picture when it comes to real life experiences, each other’s history and facts on certain topics rather than theories. It’s a good thing, because your constantly keeping it real with each other and being realistic which can help for the both of you when it comes to making big decisions. As far as your interactions together, you both feed of each other’s energy. You both resemble golden retriever’s in a sense getting excited over going on dates, hanging out with each others friends and seeing each other enjoying a hobby together. He enjoys seeing you playing tennis with him even though he knows he you win every game and seeing you get excited about showing your artwork your artwork to him which made him super soft for you. Jungwon is the more younger and charming one in the relationship so he doesn’t fail to sweep you off your feet and will continue to prove himself to you how worthy of a boyfriend and support system he can be for you. 

Negative Side: With him being the Aquarius and you being the Scorpio, it was hard at first to become a couple, because you both have similarities yet some differences which can be hard to accept. The differences I’m referring to can relate to your expectations and values when it comes building relationships. For example, Jungwon would want someone that thinks more with their mind mean while you would want someone that thinks more out of their heart. These small differences can cause some intense debates and question your both able to survive this relationship. It almost even cause you guys to break up because of this big divide between you two that’s hard to adjust.

But…: Because your both so different from each other, doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. At the end of the day, you both have love for each other and would help each other change for the better. It makes it a lot easier to agree to disagree and learn to respect each other views in life a little bit more. You might not be the most compatible in other people’s eyes, but you both know the what’s best for each other and would rather stick around with each other. 

From Txt, I ship you with…Soobin

Positive Side: Very interesting loveable duo. Your both people that have a love and obsession with knowledge and learning new things whether it has to do with science, biology, psychology, etc…In the area you both click the most in is art and music. Of course you have more knowledge in the art department, but of course Soobin is all ears and will hear you talk for hours about the latest artwork from your favorite artists. He also love when you give him your most honest feedback on his songs because it helps him give suggestions to his other members and produce more better music to their fans. The relationship between Scorpio’s and Sagittarius tend to have a more stable connection and meet each other’s needs in a relationship. Soobin would give his input on certain situations your having trouble with whether it involves you messing up in school or getting into an argument with a friend. He tries the break down what you did wrong in the situation and how you can fix it without hurting their your feelings. Whenever he comes across an issue dealing with a scandal in his career or have any doubts within himself, you turn a negative into a positive and remind him why he’s in the music industry in first place. This bond overall is for the most part something you cherish for the rest of your young lifes. 

Negative Side: Scorpios tend to have a hard time trusting people they’re closest to. Soobin is the one that’s more adventurous when it comes to traveling with you and coming up with more creative ways by expressing his love for you. The fact that his love for you is so strong, he’s constantly afraid that once he makes one mistake, there is no running back to you. Not saying that your extra strict on Soobin, but because trust is so important to you if Soobin ever lies, hides or betrays you on something huge then it’s hard to rebuild that bond you both worked so hard on building. Your biggest fear is almost similar where your afraid that because your so different from him, that it would be hard for Soobin to adjust. 

But: Your both very honest and straight to the point that you both don’t have to worry about breaking that level of trust with each other. After staying together with him longer than a year all your worries start to wash away and you both finally can live stress free as a couple. Sometimes you still have your disagreements and blow outs, but it always ends on a high note. Soobin is the light that helps guide you to the right direction and your the 

From Nct Dream, I ship you with…Renjun

Positive Side: Renjun is probably the best match out of everyone on this list. To start it off Scorpios get along very well with Aries because they have a very strong sexual chemistry. Depending on how they feel at that moment in time, the relationship starts off as lust and then love. In the case of Renjun being on the more innocent side and little experience with dating, it’s no secret that he wouldn’t deny his feelings for you out of love. From your point of you you enjoy having him around, admire his intelligence and his ability to stay committed to you while living his dream. Just like Soobin, you both love having deep conversations about each others hobbies, conspiracy theories and personal insecurities that your both struggling with. You are also very protective of each other and don’t ever take shit from anybody. If anyone tries to flirt with you or disrespect, Renjun would shut that down immediately scolding that person. You both think off of emotion and crave that when it comes to becoming affectionate with each other. Your both not the best with words, but better with actions. He’s multitalented in the art and music department as well so any art project or dance cover you wanted to work on together, Renjun won’t hesitate to join in with you. Both of your biggest deal breaker is tolerating liars and people that sneak around. Lastly, your level of trust is the most balanced out of everyone on the list, because you both can be clingy and jealous sometimes, but not to the point where it’s hurting your relationship. 

Negative Side: When it comes to communication Renjun can be a fire cracker. Sometimes he can be very impatient and wants answers right away when it comes to having those deep conversations with you sometimes. Just like I mentioned earlier, you can be talking about how happy you are in your relationship with him and Renjun would either have a hard time expressing his emotions back by playfully brushing it off or pretend like he didn’t hear what you were saying which would hurt you. You wish sometimes Renjun would be better at expressing his love back at you with words as simple as “I love you too.” You both also try to be strong infront of each other and can’t sense what the other person is feeling half of the time.

But: Renjun is someone that can keep you on your feet and would always show signs of his love for you. Somedays he can be clingy and constantly texting because he’s missed you all day. When he shows small yet meaningful gestures it makes you 10x happier. Your friendship and faith in each other what helps your relationship last much longer with him. Remember if you didn’t experience bad days with him, you wouldn’t have good ones. :)

Out of everyone I ship you the most with…Renjun💎

Outlander’s Most In-Demand Trading Cards

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Presented by:

Outlander fans want an immersive experience in the world of the show. However, in the midst of both Droughtlander and a global pandemic, fans of the time-traveling historical romance have fewer options than ever to engage with this rich world. Some fans are satisfied with collecting clothing items or themed gifts, but Cryptozoic’s trading card collections take Outlander fandom to the next level by giving fans the opportunity to collect pieces of screen-used costumes and cast autographs.

Which cards should you go for? Well, that depends on your particular interests in the fandom, but demand and availability might also come into play—especially if you have a budget. Generally, the most active eBay auctions currently are for unopened Season 4 and earlier trading card sets. Wardrobe and autograph cards are mixed in at random, and sealed boxes guarantee no cards were swapped out or removed. Since the pandemic has eliminated opportunities to meet the Outlander cast at conventions or press events, autograph cards are now more valuable as collectors’ items. 

If you’re looking for something special, Cryptozoic is partnering with eBay on two exclusive cards: “The Fraser Family” Oversized Wardrobe Card launches on eBay at 2 p.m. PT on Nov. 30. “Caitriona Balfe as Claire Fraser” Oversized Wardrobe Card, which contains fabric pieces from the costume of star Caitriona Balfe from Season 4 launches on eBay at 12 p.m. PT. These limited edition cards will be among the top Outlander trading cards fans are craving to score on eBay.

If you’re new to the world of Outlander trading card auctions on eBay, it can be a bit overwhelming. We’ll walk you through what you need to know to dive into this world… 

Top Wardrobe Cards 

The Fraser Family Oversized Wardrobe – Cryptozoic x eBay Exclusive 

One of Outlander’s most important themes is family. All of the main characters have sacrificed to keep the Fraser family together. By themselves, each wardrobe and character would be worth at least $50 but having five characters together raises the stakes considerably for collectors. Fans are naturally inclined to prefer to collect either Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) or Roger (Richard Rankin) and Bree (Sophie Skelton) themed items. This card adds Jamie’s nephew Young Ian Murray (John Bell) whose plotline in Season 4 affects both couples. There are a small handful of scenes where all five characters appear, which makes the combined photos particularly valuable.

Analyzing the costume swatches reveals additional surprises. Claire’s Season 1 green tartan dress is incredibly sentimental for fans since she wore it around Lallybroch. Jamie’s Season 4 wool frock coat was chosen to color coordinate with Claire’s. Ian’s Season 4 textured wool jacket represents his life in North Carolina. Roger and Bree’s modern clan-gathering outfits from Season 4 represent the forming of their eventual marriage. Season 1 swatches are extremely rare. 

Season 4 Caitriona Balfe as Claire Fraser – Cryptozoic x eBay Exclusive

Claire costume swatches are extremely popular among Outlander collectors. This exclusive stands out because it is a swatch of her floral fichu (neck scarf) from several Season 4 episodes. Usually, swatches are made from her dresses, skirts, or jackets. The floral pattern is also similar in color pattern to another iconic Claire outfit: her brown floral brocade riding habit she wore to the Versailles gardens in Season 2, Episode 5. 

Season 4 Quad Wardrobe Card: Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, John Bell

This is another example of a Frasier family-themed wardrobe card. Claire, Jamie, and Ian are having a conversation in the picture. Claire’s yellow linen jacket and petticoat from the scene are featured, as well as the white linen shirt Ian wears. Jamie’s black woolen Rarity drove the demand for this auction. Only 25 of these cards exist and #24 sold for $1,225.

Outlander Season 4 Jamie & Claire Quad Oversized Wardrobe Card

Jamie and Claire are the heart of Season 4’s story. This card combines two frequently used promotional shots for their relationship and the matching costume swatches. Some may recognize the first photo as a still from Season 1 when their relationship was starting to grow. The second photo is from one of their excursions beyond Fraser’s Ridge in Season 4. One swatch features a piece of Jamie’s signature kilt in Fraser tartan and his wool coat. Claire’s swatches are from her Season 4 riding habit (18th Century travel suit) and from one of her petticoats. Be prepared to put in a fight with other collectors as the winning bid for #14 of 99 sold for $428.

Season 4 Jamie Quad Oversized Wardrobe Card

Jamie and Sam Heughan cards are the most popular, according to Cryptozoic. Each picture represents a season and stage in Jamie’s journey from young man to leader of a settlement in North Carolina. A swatch from Jamie’s black silk suit from the Season 2 Paris episodes stands out as the peak of his formal attire on the show thus far. The second swatch is actually from his white cravat (necktie) as opposed to a section from a jacket or shirt. The other two swatches are pieces of his famous tartan jackets worn throughout Outlander. Only 99 of these were made, and two bidders fought for one in an incredibly close competition that ended at $369.

Season 4 Claire Quad Oversized Wardrobe Card

Fans can’t get enough of Claire’s beautifully patterned costumes. Each swatch represents a sample of Claire’s journey from a time traveler out of her element to a pioneer of penicillin in the 18th century. Claire’s intricate plaid dress she wore to The Gathering in Season 1 alone is incredibly sentimental to Outlander fans. Her purple silk Brunswick (18th-century jacket with hood) from Paris’ Season 2 episodes also hold sentimental value. Her white linen shirt from Season 3 and her teal linen jacket in Season 4 represent Claire’s time in the New World. #2 of 99 sold for $324, which is likely less than it would cost a cosplayer to recreate one of the outfits pictured.

Top Autograph Cards

Outlander CZX Triple Autograph Caitriona Balfe, Richard Rankin & Sophie Skelton

Autograph collectors are always going to be tempted by chances to have more than one cast autograph at once. Over time, the value of a group of cast autographs rises. What is unusual about this card is that Sam Heughan as Jamie is excluded. Many of the other dual and trio autograph cards feature him. This exclusivity benefits fans who prefer Roger to Jamie or fans who focus on Brianna’s relationship with Claire. Some fans exclusively watch the show for Richard Rankin so they would place a high value on any items featuring the actor or Roger Mackenzie. 

Buy Outlander CZX Triple Autograph Caitriona Balfe, Richard Rankin & Sophie Skelton on eBay

CZX Autograph Wardrobe Card Caitriona Balfe

Autograph and wardrobe combo cards offer collectors the best of both worlds. Claire’s photo and costume represent the very beginning of her journey as a heroine. The swatch is from the navy blue peacoat she wore in the first episode during her honeymoon with Frank. This early Season 1 sentimentality is why the latest auction for this dual card ended over $40 more than an auction for a solo Caitriona Balfe autograph card.

CZX Autograph Wardrobe Card Sam Heughan

One of Jamie’s most iconic Season 1 costumes is the hand-me-down leather coat from his father. The coat represents Jamie’s legacy and duty as laird of Lallybroch. Card #17 out of 60 sold for $260 clearly due to the sentimental value of the costume swatch.

Buy CZX Autograph Wardrobe Card Sam Heughan on eBay

Season 4 Stephen Bonnet Autograph Card

Ed Speleers played Season 4’s Big Bad Stephen Bonnet. Although most fans would shy away from villain characters, Speleers earned respect and praise across Outlander fandom for faithfully portraying Bonnets’ cruelty from the novels. In addition, fans of Speleers’ previous projects Downton Abbey and Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands followed him into the fandom. Neither show ever produced autographed merchandise which adds to the appeal of obtaining a Bonnet card. The most recent auction ended at $16, a good place for a beginner or budget-conscious collector to start.

SDCC NYCC 2019 CZX OUTLANDER Laura Donnelly Autograph Wardrobe Card Exclusive

This is a recent example of an older Cryptozoic convention exclusive attracting bidding attention. First of all, Laura Donnelly left her role as Jenny Murray, Jamie’s sister, after Season 3 to pursue other opportunities. Jenny has a small but devoted following for being a tough but loving wife and mother. Secondly, cards with both costume swatches and an actor autograph are rare. The costume swatch is from one of Jenny’s promotional photo costumes which makes for high sentimental value for fans.

CZX David Berry As Lord John Grey Card

Lord John Grey evolves throughout the story of Outlander from Jamie’s jailer to one of his closest friends and allies. At the heart of his character development is the struggle of living as a closeted gay man in the 18th century. In addition, he is the legal guardian to Jamie’s son with Geneva Dunsany, William. Lord John has developed a small but devoted following from the spinoff novels and short stories and on the show. Some of Berry’s fans from the Australian period drama A Place to Call Home have also found their way into Outlander fandom.

You Can Eat Your Christmas Tree. Here's How to Do It

https://sciencespies.com/nature/you-can-eat-your-christmas-tree-heres-how-to-do-it/

You Can Eat Your Christmas Tree. Here's How to Do It

For most people who celebrate Christmas, it would be hard to imagine the holiday without the iconic centerpiece of a decked out evergreen. Each year, an estimated 25 to 30 million Christmas trees are sold in the United States.

But if you’re increasingly worried about the carbon footprint of buying a real tree, there are ways you can recycle it once the holidays have passed. It can be used for mulch or even turned into something edible.

In October, UK-based artisan baker and cook Julia Georgallis published a compilation of more than 30 recipes in a new cookbook, How to Eat Your Christmas Tree, to show readers how to give their tree new life after December 25.

Georgallis sat down with Modern Farmer to talk about why she decided to create dozens of Christmas tree recipes and how a certain type of evergreen makes for an ideal ice cream flavor.

The following interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Modern Farmer: What’s the story behind this book?

Julia Georgallis: I started this project with a good friend of mine in 2015 who does a lot of work around sustainability. She asked me to collaborate with her on a project using that theme with food and we decided to collaborate on something Christmassy because we were in the lead up to Christmas. We initially wondered what we would do and initially weren’t even sure if you could eat your Christmas tree, but it turns out you can.

We started a supper club to cook up the recipes with Christmas trees. But a year later my friend was very pregnant and decided she didn’t want to be in the kitchen anymore. I ran the project on my own with the annual supper club for the rest of the years until 2019. Each year the recipes changed and I wanted to collate them. I enjoyed cooking them and I thought it would be better to share them outside my kitchen and spread the word a bit beyond the 25 people I host.

You said leading up to this project that you initially weren’t sure if people could eat their Christmas trees. Why do you think this is something that’s not well known?

I’ve been thinking about this quite a lot and I don’t know why it’s so weird because we eat and we forage so many different plants. Christmas is a lovely time of year, but I think that everything, including the tree, is now viewed as a commodity. With the Christmas tree, we’re essentially putting houseplants in our house. But we don’t think of them as houseplants anymore. We had rituals based in nature and now we’re just very monetized.

In this book, you talk about how you want it to open up a broader conversation around sustainability. How did you try to do that?

Eating Christmas trees isn’t going to save the planet, but this book draws on the idea that you just need to start thinking about how you might want to reuse, recycle and re-appropriate everything and that includes your Christmas tree. It’s also about making sustainable changes.

I mention in the book that you can use a houseplant rather than a Christmas tree. I’ve used bamboo in some of the recipes because it’s kind of like the Chinese, Korean [or] Japanese equivalent of the Western Christmas tree. There are also sections on how to make Christmas a little bit more sustainable. I tell you where you can get a Christmas tree from a sustainable source. I also offer plant-based alternatives to my meat recipes and encourage readers to purchase meat that’s been sustainably farmed if they so choose to eat meat.

When you were doing your research for the book, what stuck out to you when it came to the environmental footprint of Christmas trees?

The environmental footprint is quite large. If we let 40 million trees grow each year instead of cutting them down at Christmas and sticking them in our living rooms, they could absorb 880 million tonnes of carbon, which is the equivalent to global air traffic in one year or the impact of taking all cars in the UK off the road for the next five years. I know that there are other things that contribute more to our emissions, but these things are up there and I think it’s quite a big deal.

In the book you use recipes that involve pine, fir and spruce trees, as you explain that other types such as cedar and cypress are poisonous to eat. What are the flavor profiles of those three trees and how did you choose trees for certain recipes?

Fir is really zesty and really grassy. I’ve used it in things like pickles, and things that need a sharper taste. Spruce is really surprising. It’s not as grassy, it’s more “orangey.” The spruce in the ice cream I make actually gives it a vanilla taste. The blue spruce ice cream I make is actually my favorite recipe. And doing my research, what I ended up finding out is some of the earlier vanilla extracts, like artificial flavorings, had notes of spruce in them. Then pine doesn’t taste like it smells. It’s very delicate and almost floral. In some of the recipes if I give the option of all three, I say if you’re using pine, you need to use a lot more of it.

The following recipes are from How to Eat Your Christmas Tree (Hardie Grant, Oct. 2020), a new cookbook by Julia Georgallis and is reprinted with permission of the publisher.

Cured fish is wonderful for starters (appetizers), breakfast, or in a very decadent sandwich. Trout is a great option for curing or use other sustainable fish, such as monkfish, halibut, or something recommended by your local fishmonger. Use the freshest fish you can find, making sure it hasn’t been frozen before buying.

Makes: 2 kg (4 lb 8 oz) of fish

Preparation time: 30 minutes + minimum 24 hours, maximum 36 hours for curing time

Ingredients : -2 kg (4 lb 8 oz) filleted fish of your choice -350 g (12 oz) fir or spruce needles or 700 g (1 lb 9 oz) pine needles (or a combination) -770 g (1 lb 11 oz/ 31⁄3 cups) demerara sugar -500 g (1 lb 2 oz/ 11⁄2 cups) table salt -2 small beetroots (beets), grated -grated zest of 3 lemons

Method: Before you cure, it is good practice to freeze the fish as this kills any bacteria that might be present. You can ‘flash freeze’ for 24 hours, but I like to freeze the fish for about a week. Defrost it in the refrigerator a few hours before you start curing.

Prepare the needles: Spruce, fir and pine needles can be very sharp, so care must be taken not to hurt your fingers while preparing them for cooking. You will need a pair of large, sharp scissors and a big bowl. Snip some larger branches from your tree. Wash the branches under cold, running water, making sure that you get rid of all possible bits of mud and dirt. You may notice that there are balls of sap, but this is safe to eat, as are the dried buds, which might be at the end of some of the branches. Turn the branch upside down over a bowl so that the needles make a chevron shape. Using scissors, cut upwards so that the needles fall directly into the bowl. I usually then wash the snipped needles once more before using them.

To make the cure, mix the sugar, salt, grated beetroot, lemon zest and needles together.

Lay out some cling film (plastic wrap) on a flat surface and sprinkle a generous layer of the curing mixture over it, making sure it is roughly the length and width of the fillet.

You might need an extra pair of hands for this next step: lay the fish over the first layer of cure, then pack the top and sides of the fillet with the rest of the cure and wrap tightly in cling film, making sure it is totally covered in the cure mixture.

Place the fish on a baking tray (sheet pan) underneath something heavy, and refrigerate between 24 and 36 hours. Halfway through the curing process, turn the fish over, remembering to place it under something heavy again.

When it is ready to eat, wash off the cure and make sure there are no needles left on the fish. Slice thinly.

This keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

I love a good pickle. Either use infused Christmas Tree Vinegar or apple cider vinegar to make these or use fresh needles and leave to pickle for a couple of extra weeks. Use whichever vegetable you like and is in season. Carrots and cucumbers work well and add beetroot (beets) for some extra colour.

Makes: Enough to fill a 2-litre (70-fl oz/8-cup) jar

Preparation time: 3 days + 1 month (minimum 5 days) pickling time

Equipment: a 2-litre (70-fl oz/8-cups) glass jar with a lid, a Kilner or Mason jar is ideal

Ingredients : -A handful of spruce, pine or fir needles -2 litres (70 fl oz/8 cups) either Christmas Tree Vinegar (page 44) or apple cider vinegar -50 g (2 oz/1⁄2 cup) salt flakes -900 g (2 lb/4 cups) demerara sugar -700 g (1 lb 9 oz) ribbons of beetroot (beets), carrots, cucumber (preferably a mix of all three) -a handful of juniper berries

Method: Sterilize the jar and prepare the needles (see cured fish recipe for the instructions on this).

In a saucepan, heat up the vinegar, salt and sugar until just boiling.

Arrange the beetroot, carrots, cucumber, needles and juniper berries at the bottom of the jar and pour in the pickling liquid.

Tightly seal the jar. Turn it upside down once, quickly, to get rid of any extra air. Once cooled, either leave in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator. Leave for a minimum of 5 days before opening. Keep for 2 weeks once opened.

This is hands down my favorite recipe from the supper club, and I have shared it generously over the years with anyone who will listen. I like to use blue spruce, as I think it is the champion of conifers (it tastes a little like vanilla), but, as with all these recipes, you can interchange the type of Christmas tree you use depending on what you have access to.

Makes: 950 g (2 lb 2 oz) of ice cream

Preparation Time: 2 hours with an ice-cream maker, 4 hours without one

Ingredients: -300 g (101⁄2 oz) blue spruce needles or 400 g (14 oz) any other type of Christmas tree needles -510 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) double (heavy) cream -170 ml (6 fl oz/3/4 cup) whole (full-fat) milk (ideally Jersey milk) -170 g (6 oz/3/4 cup) caster (superfine) sugar -8 egg yolks -5 pieces stem ginger, chopped

Method:

Prepare the needles (see first cured fish recipe for this info).

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk the cream, milk, sugar and egg yolks until well combined.

Add the needles to the cream mixture and heat gently, stirring continuously so that the mixture doesn’t catch on the bottom or sides of the pan.

After 15 minutes, turn the heat up to medium. When bubbles begin to appear around the edge of the pan, the custard is ready and can be removed from the heat.

Sieve the mixture two or three times through a fine sieve (fine mesh strainer) so that none of the needles end up in the final ice cream mixture.

If using an ice-cream maker, add the sieved mixture to the churning pot and begin the churning process. Before it freezes, add the chopped stem ginger and continue churning until it is frozen. Transfer the frozen ice cream to the freezer.

If you don’t own an ice-cream maker, transfer the mixture to a tub or dish and leave to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer to the freezer. Stir the mixture every hour and when it is beginning to freeze (about 2 hours) but not completely solid, add the chopped stem ginger and mix well. Continue stirring each hour until the ice cream is completely frozen. This will take about 4 hours.

Once it is frozen, keep it in the freezer until ready to serve.
