What better accompaniment to a fine celebration of the season’s bounty than a heaping helping of stuffing alongside a generous slice of turkey?


1 loaf of Mulgore Spice Bread , or 8 to 10 cups large bread cubes

1 /2 cups milk

1 /2 cup salted butter

1 onion, diced

1 pear, cored and diced large

1 apple, cored and diced large

1 egg

1 /2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme

1. Cut the bread into chunks no larger than 2 inches wide and allow to dry out overnight or under low heat in the oven. Transfer the bread into a large mixing bowl. Pour the milk over the bread cubes, stirring until the bread has soaked up all the milk.

2. In a small frying pan, melt the butter and cook the onion until it is soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl, tossing until everything is evenly mixed.

3. Either use the mixture to stuff a turkey or bake in the oven at 350°F, covered, for about 30 minutes, then another 10 minutes or so uncovered.
