This was one of the hardest Beekman 1802 contests that we've EVER had to judge.  Every single one of the recipes for the Heirloom Recipe Contest sound delicious and the stories were exactly what we were hoping to read on Thanksgiving Day to remind us of the importance of the holiday.

Because we were overwhelmed by the choices,  we had to devise a system in order to come up with a winner.  First we decided to make a list of all the recipes we could make for Thanksgiving Dinner.  That still left us with well over 50 to choose from.  The next strategy was to choose recipes that used ingredients that we had on-hand.  This brought the number down to 14.  Of those 14, we chose 5 whose story we most enjoyed.

And the winner is:

No. 47–, Erin's Swedish Rye Bread

(we have to admit that our love of left-over turkey sandwiches may have influenced our decision)
