CRANBERRY STUFFING
With their delightfully chewy texture and sweet-tart flavor, dried cranberries are the perfect addition to stuffing. So this Thanksgiving, why not make cranberry stuffing for a lovely fruity variation on what's otherwise a completely classic recipe. With plenty of butter and traditional aromatics in the mix-sage, thyme, onion-bread soaks up all sorts of rich flavor. Once you get a taste of this dish, we think you'll agree dried cranberries are the ingredient you didn't know your Thanksgiving stuffing was missing!
