Nana's oyster stuffing has been a family favorite of ours going back several generations. She would make this recipe only on special occasions, primarily Thanksgiving and Christmas. As our family grew, we'd ask Nana for the recipe, which she was reluctant to give up, saying only that it was "made with love."
Now, our family is proud to offer this recipe to you, to try and home with your own Bayman's Bounty Jarred Oysters.
