Are you still full from all the yummy food at Thanksgiving?
I know I am! And, I’m leaning towards not wanting to see a turkey again for awhile.
However, Thanksgiving does kick off my most favorite time of year full of good food and spending lots of time with family and friends. Smucker’s has a contest going on right now that incorporates both of those things.
There are two weeks left to enter the Spreading Smucker’s Tradition Recipe and Essay Contest for the chance to win $20,000 towards planning a family reunion! Wow!
Up until December 10, you can share an original family recipe that incorporates at least 1/4 cup of Smucker’s Jam, Jelly, Preserves or Fruit Butter, along with an essay about how the recipe makes family celebrations special. The recipe must have been passed down for at least two generations and can be submitted to Smucker’s here.
Plus, Smucker’s wants to give gift baskets to FOUR of you…with an awesome sampling of Smucker’s and Orchard’s finest jams, jellies and preserves, several jam spreaders and recipe cards featuring 2 of Smucker’s family recipes!

My favorite family recipe is for pierogis. When I was engaged to marry my husband his aunt invited my over to teach me how to make pierogis. They are usually served at most family functions. My kids are all grown now and my husband’s sister continued the tradition by inviting my daughter-in-law over to teach her how to make them.

My favorite family recipe is my hubby’s artisan bread! Even I can make it because it only takes flour, salt, yeast, and water! I don’t know what the ‘official’ name is, but around here it’s hubby’s artisan bread.
The bread is beautiful and delicious. You really can’t beat it.
Thanks for the great giveaway.

My absolute favorite family recipe is for red velvet cake. It’s the true southern version made with vinegar and baking soda and a cooked frosting that isn’t cream cheese.

My favorite family recipe is my great grandmother’s cinnamon rolls. My dad makes them sometimes and they bring back great memories of being a kid.
Our favorite family recipe is my husband’s chili. It’s not so much a recipe as a list of ingredients and a method, but we love it. He used to make it for me when we were dating, and when we were first married, we’d work together in our tiny kitchen with the older-than-dirt gas range and three feet of counter space to put together chili and cornbread. It tastes good, is inexpensive, and brings back good memories. What’s not to like?
Favorite family recipes – it’s funny, from my MIL come 0ur favorite main dish recipes (lasagne, chili, sausage casserole) but from my mom and grandmothers come our favorite sweets – cookies (sugar cookies from my dad’s mother and oatmeal raisin from my mom’s side), breakfast treats (bubblewreath from my mom), and so on. It’s a good thing we got together to have more complete menus.
I love these recipes not only because they taste good, but because they come with so many memories of cooking together.
My favorite family recipe is for my mom’s cinnamon rolls. She makes them every year for Christmas morning, and they are amazing!

No Christmas would be complete without my grandmas cinnamon rolls,when grandma passed then my mom took over.The whole family waits for this time of year
My mom used to make pierogis, and now I can make them just like her! They’re the ultimate comfort food for me.

Fav family recipe would have to be our xmas blintzes…I help, but have not made them alone yet. You make dozens of crepes, then fill them with a secret cheese filling. Then you roll them up a special way, place a bunch in a pan and bake them in the oven. Top with sour cream and Lingonberry sauce(not made from scratch) and enjoy! We only have them on xmas eve, but we always make enough for everyone to take some home…thanks goodness.
Thanks for the great giveaway.
