| Cooking
Instructions: |
Place dried fruit and 1/2 cup Grand Marnier in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup water. Heat to boiling to plump the fruit. Remove from heat and set aside. Chop sausage fine or break up bulk sausage. In a large skillet, cook sausage. Remove from heat. Reserve drippings. Add and heat butter. Add onion and cook until somewhat translucent -- about 5 minutes. Add celery. Saute together another 3 or 4 minutes. Do NOT brown onion. Add chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes longer. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, fruit with liquid, sausage, chopped apple, onion, celery and broth. Stir to combine. Stir well to moisten stuffing. Add a little water if needed. Season with thyme and pepper to taste.

Comments: |
| If you are using this to stuff poultry, let it cool before putting into the cavity. This dish can be served as a side dish if desired. In which case you may wish to bake in a casserole dish for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees F. to brown the top. |
