Time 1h45m

Yield 1 9X13 pan, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 large celery ribs, finely chopped
2 cups wild rice, well rinsed
5 cups homemade turkey broth or 5 cups canned chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon savory
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • Put water and sugar in medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Heat to simmer, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add cranberries and cook just until all the cranberries are popped, about 3 minutes.
  • Do not overcook; you want the cranberries to stay relatively whole.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cranberries to a medium-size bowl, leaving the cranberry syrup in the saucepan.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Add wild rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add stock, salt, thyme and pepper.
  • Heat to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until rice is tender but pleasantly chewy, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes.
  • Drain the wild rice of excess cooking liquid, if necessary.
  • Add the wild rice mixture and the toasted pecans to the cranberries.
  • Toss to mix well.
  • Use as a turkey stuffing or bake separately.
  • To bake separately, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place in a buttered 13x9 inch baking dish.
  • Bake, covered, until heated through, 30 to 40 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dressing turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any flavor.

This dressing was a disaster! It was too dry and the flavors didn't blend well together. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
