Recipes from the Florida Keys

Joyce and Perry Lenz, from Lady Lake, Florida, spent Thanksgiving at Captain Pip’s. For our Thanksgiving pot luck dinner, they made the Apple Cranberry casserole, which disappeared even faster than John’s fried turkey. With a little coaxing, they were kind enough to share these two great recipes with us. We hope the recipes make your holiday feasts even tastier.
