OCEAN SPRAY'S CAPE COD CRANBERRY DRESSING (STUFFING)



Ocean Spray's Cape Cod Cranberry Dressing (Stuffing) image

Whatever am I doing posting a fall-winter recipe in May? I know! Using up leftover cornbread! The meat is definitely optional. I used orange-essence dried cranberries from Trader Joe's. The sweetness of the cornbread balances and complements well with the tartness of the cranberries. If you choose to use dried cranberries, reduce amount by half. The recipe itself can be easily doubled. From the oceanspray.com website.

Categories     Corn

Time 45m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups leftover cornbread, cubed
1/2 lb sausage meat, cooked, drained and crumbled (optional, read *Note) or 2 -3 sliced tempeh bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional, read *Note)
1 cup cranberries (fresh, frozen or dried)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/3 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced (replacing thyme) or 2 teaspoons dried parsley (replacing thyme)
salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup vegetable broth or 1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter (optional, my addition)

Steps:

  • *Note: I've prepared this recipe with and without the meat. For the sausage in the original recipe I used instead Recipe #100408 making "sausage" from ground turkey or chicken. It worked really well for this dressing. I have never prepared the dressing using sausage, only the sausage substitute as indicated. Test on Friday.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Combine all ingredients, except chicken broth (and butter if using), in an oiled or buttered medium casserole dish.
  • Add broth; mix well.
  • Add more broth for a moister stuffing. (I like my dressing/stuffing moist, therefore I add closer to 3/4 cup of broth but don't add too much liquid or you'll have bread-y goo.) If desired, dot the top of the dressing with the butter.
  • Cover and bake for 30 minutes or until heated through.

CAPE COD BAY BROWN BREAD



Cape Cod Bay Brown Bread image

This reminds me of the brown bread my grandmother made whenever we went out east to visit. The aroma evokes fond memories of her New England home during the peak of fall. I use blackstrap molasses and agave nectar to make mine a little different without sacrificing any of the flavor. Cranberries are another special touch, but this would also taste delicious with raisins. -Kellie Foglio, Salem, Wisconsin

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust
1 9-ounce box chocolate wafer cookies, broken
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
2 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Finely grind cookies and chocolate in processor. Add butter; blend until moist clumps form. Using plastic wrap as aid, press crumb mixture onto bottom and 1 1/4 inches up sides of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Bake until set, about 8 minutes. Cool completely.
  • For filling:
  • Increase oven temperature to 350°F. Wrap 2 layers of heavy-duty foil around bottom and up sides of springform pan. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until light. Beat in flour. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, just until blended. Beat in orange peel and vanilla.
  • Pour filling into crust. Place springform pan in large roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake until filling is just set in center but still moves slightly, about 55 minutes. Remove cake from water bath; transfer to rack and cool completely, about 4 hours. Cover and chill overnight.
  • For topping:
  • Stir sugar and water in medium saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium; add cornstarch mixture and bring to simmer. Add cranberries; cook until beginning to pop, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in orange peel. Cool completely. Cover and chill overnight. (Cheesecake and cranberry mixture can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Run knife around top edge of cheesecake to loosen. Release pan sides. Top cheesecake with cranberry mixture. Chill until set, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • For a refreshing twist, use lime zest instead of orange zest.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cranberry filling for a warm, autumnal flavor.
  • If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the egg wash on the crust.
  • To make ahead, prepare the cranberry filling and crust up to 3 days in advance. Store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and store the crust wrapped in plastic wrap in the freezer. When ready to bake, thaw the crust overnight in the refrigerator and then assemble and bake the pie as directed.
  • Serve the pie warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

This Cranberry Orange Cape Cod Pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart cranberries are perfectly complemented by the orange zest and cinnamon, and the buttery crust is flaky and golden brown. Whether you serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this pie is sure to be a hit!
