Icon seeks your favorite holiday recipes

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 30, 2010 - 12:35pm

With the holidays upon us, The Bluffton Icon is requesting that readers submit favorite Christmas recipes - cookies, candy, breads, etc. We'd like to publish one Christmas recipe each day - sort of a virtual holiday cookbook.

So when you pull out your cookbooks and recipe files this season, think of us and send us any recipes you're willing to share. Please include the history behind the recipe - a family favorite handed down through the generations; a new, lighter version of an old cookie recipe; or something completely new to your family.
