This actually happened yesterday, but my daughter and I bought an ice cream maker and we made ginger ice cream with both fresh ginger and candied ginger. We had been going out for ice cream and she had been getting ginger ice cream from the ice cream shop, but the they ran out of ginger and didn't have any the last two times we went, so she had to settle for birthday cake ice cream.
We had to go to two stores to find the ice cream maker and we bought the last one the second store had. The motor is electric and you use ice and rock salt in the freezer part. It makes up to six quarts of ice cream, but we didn't make nearly that much, maybe closer to two quarts.
