Ingredients

  • 240mL brandy
  • 75g dried apricots, diced 10 apricot halves
  • 10mL vegetable oil
  • 150g celery, chopped
  • 180g onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 560g stuffing cubes, cubed dried white bread
  • 360mL chicken or vegetable broth
  • 65g toasted almonds, sliced
  • 75g dried cranberries
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1g thyme
  • 1g freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the brandy and apricots in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion and garlic, sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add brandy and apricots, and cook until half of the liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and cool.
