Apple & Prune Stuffing

This is the traditional stuffing used in the stuffed goose for St Mårten's day in Sweden. I like it better without the goose! Soak in hot water for 10 minutes: 1/2 lb pitted dried prunes Meanwhile, sauté for about 5 minutes: 3 large, firm, tart apples, thickly sliced 1/4 c unsalted butter When the apples are transparent, about 5 minutes, sprinkle on: 1 T brown sugar 1/2 t ground cinnamon Combine well and when all apples are glazed, add the soaked prunes Heat through about 2-3 more minutes. Serve warm as a side or with a slice of pumpkin pie.

Classic Thanksgiving Stuffing

Couldn't find the old recipe on here anyway so time to add it. Nothing special about this version except its the classic. Saute: 1 c finely chopped celery 1 1/2 c chopped onion 1/2 c unsalted butter when golden and tender, remove from heat combine with: 1 c warm chicken or turkey broth 1 t poultry seasoning or dried crushed sage 1/4 c snipped fresh parsley 1/2 T fresh thyme/ 1/2 t dried thyme 1/4 t marjoram 1/4 t black pepper Pour over 8 c dry bread cubes Combine gently and add more broth if needed Add any extras like slivered almonds or dried cranberries, etc. as desired.
