A Taste Of Tampa In ‘Taste Of Home’ [Props to my Recipes Lost & Found Peeps]


Judy BatsonTaste of Home,” the magazine that highlights recipes of home cooks, has released the latest edition of its book “Everyday Slow Cooker & One Dish Recipes” cookbook. The collection has more than 300 recipes from homemakers around the country, including 18 from Florida. Tribune reader Judy Batson‘s Banana Apple Sauce is the only recipe from Tampa.

It’s nice to see a regular Recipes Lost & Found contributor getting some well-deserved recognition.

You can find Judy’s recipe on page 85 of the cookbook. “Thanks to my slow cooker, it’s a breeze to create homemade applesauce!” she’s quoted in the book as saying. “Banana, raisins and a splash of citrus flavor makes my sauce different that most.”
