Every year at Thanksgiving, I try a new recipe for stuffing/dressing to prevent predictability. They are always labor intensive, time-consuming and well worth it. I haven't picked a loser yet. This year, I chose this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and made it as a dressing. If you like a mushy dressing, it will need more moisture. This did not turn out dry but I added two extra ounces of broth and kept it covered until the last minutes. The apples and plumped raisins really stood out, but the overall flavor made everyone pause after the first bite and their complements made this positively deserving of five stars. Thank you Teri!

I'm surprised this recipe got such great reviews. I must have done something terribly wrong because I thought it was awful. My husband said it wasn't bad but he's the only one that ate it. I just wish I hadn't taken all that time to do it when it ended up getting thrown out.

I soaked the raisins in hot apple juice before adding it to the stuffing mixture and I used the apple juice I soaked the raisins in instead of the orange juice. (I've used orange juice in stuffing before and noone liked it.) I didn't want it swimming in butter and grease because it has sausage in it, so I only used one stick, melted. I combined all the ingredients in a large bowl and transferred it to my crockpot to cook a little before dinner. Turned out very well. We all enjoyed it. I'm glad there's leftovers! NOTE: I served this with Caramel Apple Pork Chops, which are also from this site.

My family is very hard to please and they rant and rave about this stuffing. It was on our Thanksgiving table and will also be at our Christmas table.

The instructions in this recipe need to be modified to claify a bit. It instructs to add broth and herbs then pour over stuffing mixture...aren't you adding the broth and herbs to the stuffing mixture? How could you then pour it over? I realize now what to do but while I was making it it was confusing so I just went for broke and mixed everything together in no particular order. I used a mixed bag of raisins and cherries, I used bulk mild italian chicken sausage...if you can't get bulk you can get the links and cut them open to fry. I had two stuffing boxes on hand, and the stove top was better for this particular recipe as it comes already "crushed" and crushing the pep. farm proved difficult. Very pleased with taste! Thanks for sharing.

I substituted dried cherries for the raisins and it was great! I think you could probably cut the butter down a bit (if you want to.)

Served this with a marinated pork loin roast and it was a hit. Followed the recipe exactly and was delighted, light, sweet and savory, perfect texture. Tasted even better the next day.
