As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Cranberry & Sausage Dressing
10-12 cups cubed, day-old sourdough bread
1 1/2 pounds bulk pork sausage
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups diced onion
2 cups diced celery
sea salt and pepper to taste
2 Apples - peeled, cored and diced
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries or (Fresh cranberries washed 1/2 pound, 3/4
up sugar)
1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped (opitonal)
1 1/2 tsp sage (optional)
1 tbls Fresh Rosemary (opitonal)
1 tsp thyme
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs
2 cups chicken stock
Directions
1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch
baking dish.
2. Spread the bread cubes in a thin layer onto two or more baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until the bread cubes have toasted evenly, 5
to 7 minutes. Stir once as the bread bakes. Once toasted, place the bread
cubes into a very large mixing bowl and set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the pork
sausage. Cook and stir until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink.
Drain the sausage and add to the bread cubes.
4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
Stir in the onion and celery, and cook until the onion has softened and
turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and
pepper, and scrape into the bowl with the bread cubes. Stir in the
apples, cranberries, walnuts, sage, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Whisk
the eggs in a bowl along with the chicken stock, and pour over the bread
mixture along with 1/2 cup of melted butter. Stir well until the bread
cubes have absorbed the chicken stock. Pack into the prepared 9x13 inch
baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the aluminum
foil, and stir the stuffing. Return to the oven and continue baking until
golden brown on top, about 15 minutes more.
