Cranberry Walnut Stuffing

Cranberry Walnut Stuffing – fruit and nut stuffing idea for your Thanksgiving dinner. 

My very favorite stuffing to date! No wonder: it has my favorite ingredients in it. Cranberries that I absolutely adore and always buy tons of bags of them and use all year long; and walnuts – my favorite nut! Together they make a fantastic fruit and nut stuffing that’s not only easy to make but pairs perfectly with chicken, turkey or ham. Just in time for the holidays!

My friends are already shopping for Christmas gifts and I am already planning our holiday menu. This stuffing actually appeared on our Family Day as a part of our big meal. I love everything about it! The tarty cranberries that burst while baking, and the walnuts that toast in the oven. The honey and nut bread soaked in apple juice is the base and the binder for the fruit and nuts. Oh, it’s so delicious!

You have to admit, it’s actually one pretty stuffing. And we all know, stuffing is not the star of the show on the holiday table. Usually not appealing looking, soggy and not really impressive. Not this one! This one is pretty with red berries and smells heavenly! I love using cranberries in festive holiday dishes and do that any chance I get. I had this idea for a stuffing since this summer and I am so happy how it came out! I could eat it every day!
