Quick and Easy Caramel Sauce
Number of Servings: 6
Added By: Ed & Sue Kelly
My Yacht Name: Angel Louise
Yacht Manufacturer: Catalac 41 Catamaran
Ingredients: 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
Nothing else!
Directions: Take an unopened can of Sweetened Condensed Milk, and peel the label off. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. We use our pressure cooker with a trivet on the bottom to keep the can off the bottom. DO NOT PUT LID ON TIGHT! Keep the can completely covered with water while water is boiling. After 2 hours, remove from heat and let cool.
Warning - do not permit can to become uncovered by the boiling water or it can explode!
The contents will be smooth and creamy caramel. We serve with slices of Fuji apples that have been shaken with water and a little lemon juice to keep them from browning while on table.

Comments: We got the recipe from another cruiser. This can also be used with any recipe needing caramel. It is easy to do multiple cans and they do not need refrigeration until opened!

Low Carb Creamy White Chocolate
Number of Servings: 4
Added By: Steve & Karen
My Yacht Name: Betelgeuse
Yacht Manufacturer: Island Packet 32
Ingredients: 8 oz Cream Cheese
1 C Heavy Whipping Cream
1 C cold Water
1 Package Jello White Chocolate Sugar Free instant pudding mix
1 oz Creme de Cacao (optional)
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Directions: Soften Cream cheese. Add whipping cream and beat with electric mixer until thick and creamy. Add package of sugar free White Chocolate Instant Pudding mix and the cold water. (Adding an ounce of Cream de Cacao adds to the chocolate flavor, if desired.) Keep beating until nice and creamy. Serve in individual cups, or for a special occasion spread into a graham cracker crust (which does add carbs, though) and chill. Especially good topped with chocolate Reddi Wip!
Brandied Peaches
Number of Servings: 6
Added By: Michele Martinage
My Yacht Name: Lady Slipper
Yacht Manufacturer: Cape Dory
Ingredients: Peaches, nice ripe ones which have been blanched and pealed.
Honey
Brandy
Pound cake or your favorite
Directions: Boil about a quart of water and submerge each peach for a few moments. They will peal very easily this way. Slice them and put them in a Zip Lock bag along with equal parts of honey and Brandy. I just usually wing it but I would say that if you use four peaches, you would want to use about a half cup of each. Pour the honey and brandy mixture into the bag with the peaches, zip it and bungie (sp?) cord this to the deck of your boat on a nice warm, sunny day. Go for a sail. After dinner you slice the pound cake, spoon this over it and add a little whipped cream.
Comments: I made this up back in the days when I worked for Getaway Sailing. It was a great way to keep things simple and fun. When it was time to whip the cream, I would enlist help from on of the charterers. I had a special apron for them and would give them a little hand rotary mixer to use. It was always a lot of fun.
