Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Bread cubes (day-old or toasted)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks Celery, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet. Toast them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly crisp. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh cranberries to the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and burst slightly.
Mix in the parsley, sage, and thyme. Stir well to combine and remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the cooked cranberry mixture. Toss everything together gently.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the mixture while stirring to ensure the bread cubes are evenly moistened. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Spoon the stuffing into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your festive cranberry stuffing!
