Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ (1 pound) loaves day-old whole wheat bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, diced
1 cup dried tart cherries
1 cup golden raisins
½ cup dried currants
½ cup pitted prunes, coarsely chopped
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 large eggs, beaten
1 serving cooking spray
2 ¾ cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Slice bread and discard ends. Arrange bread slices on the rack of the preheated oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until very dry, about 15 minutes.
  • While the bread is baking, melt butter in a heavy, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove bread from the oven and crumble into coarse pieces in a large bowl. Add cherries, raisins, currants, and prunes; toss to combine. Mix in sauteed onions and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in eggs.
  • Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Coat a 12x16-inch piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
  • Stir chicken broth into stuffing mixture and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Cover with the aluminum foil, sprayed-side down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until top is golden, about 20 minutes more.

This stuffing was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more herbs and spices.
