CLAM STUFFING BAKE

Clam Stuffing Bake image

It seemed like Mom was always standing at her old black stove, coming up with recipes. This was one of the oldtime favorites. I loved stuffed clams any time of the year. I buy them fresh when in season and save the shells. Then, when I can't buy them fresh, I use canned. -Lillian Butler Stratford, Connecticut
