Apple-Persimmon Stuffing

from Apple-Persimmon Stuffing, Streusel Sweet Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole & Mashed Potatoes, the Week of November 13, 2016.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

Any combination of apples, pears, or persimmons work well in this moist stuffing- add as much fruit as seems reasonable. We used pumpernickel bread, but most types of bread work nicely. Dry the bread out in your oven at the lowest possible temperature or cut the night before to dry out. Alternatively, buy already dried, oil-less croutons.
This would pair beautifully with turkey, pork or roasted chicken.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups pumpernickel bread, cubed and dried out
  • 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 3 stalks celery, minced
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 2 apples, or pears, sliced and roughly chopped
  • 1 persimmon, fuyu, or pears, sliced in small pieces
  • ½ cup dried cranberries, or golden raisins
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, sage, thyme, parsley, optional
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 broth

Preparation Instructions

Dry out the bread cubes in an oven set at a low temperature, such as 150-225 degrees.

Sauté the butter, celery, and onions in a skillet until tender about 10 minutes. Toss in the apples and sauté another 2-4 minutes.

Fold the hot ingredients with the bread cubes, persimmons or pears, dried cranberries, fresh herbs, salt & pepper to taste. Drizzle in the broth to moisten the stuffing, adding more as needed.

Place in the oven, covered with foil. Increase the heat to 375 and bake for 10-15 minutes until hot and heated through.
