SPICY CRANBERRY PECAN CORNBREAD STUFFING
This is a cornbread stuffing with jalapenos, cranberries, bacon, and pecans. I cooked up this recipe while living in Texas. I serve it with turkey but I have also stuffed it in apples and cooked them in a crock pot to serve with pork loin for Christmas dinner. This recipe makes the house smell fantastic!

CORNBREAD, SAUSAGE, APPLE, & PECAN STUFFING
Breads, fruit, nuts, and sausage combine to make a tasty stuffing for a 20-lb turkey or a casserole of dressing on the side. If you're using a smaller turkey, you can put excess stuffing in a smaller casserole dish and bake it while the turkey's resting before carving. Southern influenced, this has become our favorite dressing for Thanksgiving or any special occasion. You could add other fruits (cranberry AND apple, for example) or different nuts or seasonings to suit your tastes. Adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook".

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Melt half the butter in a large skillet.
- Add onions and cook over medium-low to medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
- Remove onion and butter from pan and put in a very large bowl to be mixed later.
- In same skillet, melt rest of the butter, add apple, and cook quickly over high heat until lightly browned, but not mushy.
- Remove apples and butter from pan and put in the bowl with the onions.
- With the pan back on the burner, add sausage, crumbling as you cook it over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned.
- When done, remove with a slotted spoon and add it to the mixing bowl.
- Reserve drippings for basting later.
- Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and combine gently.
- If you're going to stuff a turkey, cool completely in the refrigerator first.
- To cook it as a separate dressing, spoon the mixture into a large casserole (13 x 9 or slightly larger), cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30- 45 minutes at 325, basting occasionally with cooking juices from the turkey or with reserved sausage fat, if needed.
- Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.
- Serve hot or warm.
- Note: You may need to use additional broth (approximately one 14 ounce can) as necessary to adjust the moistness of the stuffing to your taste, or if there are insufficient drippings from your poultry.
- Note: To make these as individual stuffing muffins, add one egg to the mix before baking to help the muffins keep their shape.

MAPLE-PECAN CORNBREAD
Our state trails only Vermont in the production of maple syrup in the U.S. I have many childhood memories of tapping our maple trees in early spring and watching the sap come out. Corn bread, or johnnycake as it's called here in scenic Mohawk Valley, was a staple of the men fighting in the Revolutionary War. The volunteers, who were known as "Johnnys", carried their rations with them, and the johnnycakes held up well for days.

- Pat pork dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place in an oiled shallow baking pan.
- Spread mustard thickly over tenderloins and pat crumb mixture onto mustard.
- Roast in middle of oven 15 minutes.
- Tent pork loosely with foil to prevent crust from burning and continue to roast until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 158 degrees, about 15 minutes longer.
- Let meat stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a more flavorful and moist texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use stone-ground cornmeal instead.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help the cornbread rise evenly.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.
