- Mango Sorbet
| At Anchor Recipes - Desserts |
Who doesn't love ice cream? We sure do, but our freezer will not keep it frozen in this heat so I had to figure out a better way to get our fix.
Sorbet is a super-easy and fun treat to make on a boat. Pretty much any fruit can be used . Raspberry-Banana is always a winner, as is Banana with some chunks of dark chocolate. Here I use fresh mangos.
Don't over-freeze sorbet as you want it to be the consistency of a nice smooth gelato. I pour the sorbet into small ziplock bags and stick them right onto the evaporator plate of our freezer for a few hours. When I'm ready to serve I knead the bag until pocket option broker the sorbet is smooth. Then I cut a small corner into the bag and squeeze the sorbet into a bowl.
I use my stick blender to mix up the sorbet. It works well on the inverter and doesn't take up much space.
1-2 ripe Mangos or other fruit
2 Tablespoons Honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-3 limes* or lemon to taste
Whip everything together with a blender, food processor or stick-blender. Add more of any ingredient to taste. Pour into ziplock bag. Freeze.
* I use the tiny Mexican limes so add regular sized limes/lemons slowly

Featured Galley Chef | Carolyn Shearlock  GalleySwap member Carolyn Shearlock has enjoyed cooking since she was a young girl helping her mother. While still in grade school, she learned to cook most things from scratch as well as over a wood fire with no refrigeration while camping. Add in the fact that her dad had worked his way through school as a butcher and taught her about various cuts of meat, cutting up a chicken and boning it, and she had an excellent foundation for living aboard a cruising sailboat outside the US.

Galley Gadget | Human Powered Espresso MakerI just came across this handy espresso maker which requires no electricity and is very small at just 11¾"H x 8"W x 5”D. Just add boiling water and press its arms gently down for an easy, quick hit of fresh-brewed coffee anytime, anywhere. Who says you can't have it all?
If you don't want to spend quite that much (and who really does?) there is also the AeroPress coffee and espresso. |
Featured Galley Chef | Sandie Parker GalleySwap member Sandie has been a first mate for 15 years. She has always loved to cook, but never knew it would turn into a career at this stage of her life. Cooking on the boat was a real challenge for her to create easy meals, with little space, that were semi-gourmet, easy on the eyes, and down right good to eat. Fellow boating friends would always want her recipes of the dishes she took to their weekly potlucks. That is the reason for the cookbooks, “Sandie’s Galley” and “Gone Overboard.” Read more... |
Galley Gadget | No More Clumpy Salt Is your salt getting clumpy? Try getting an all acrylic grinder. No parts to rust and no need to add rice to your shaker. I even use it right over my steamy pot... If you shop at Trader Joe's you can buy their all acrylic salt grinder for a couple of bucks and just keep on refilling it. If you're not lucky enough to have a Trader Joe's nearby, you could order the Olde Thompson grinder from Amazon. They also make grinders for many other seasonings. No more clumps! |
