Scalloped Oysters

This recipe is a Christmas Eve tradition in the Dimock family with the original recipe coming from my great grandmother. While it is a tradition, most of my family does not dare to try it! For years it was just me and my grandparents that would eat this dish, a memory with them that I cherish. Last year, my grandmother and I convinced most of the family to try it and the general consensus was that it really wasn’t that bad. I hope you give this recipe a try, even if you aren’t an oyster fan. ~ Emma
