Stuffing – Cooking Down East
Ingredients
- 11 cups bread crumbs
- 1 cup fine cracker crumbs
- 1 cup fat
- 3/4 cup minced onion
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups diced celery, leaves too
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sage or poultry seasoning
Directions
Melt fat in a skillet, add the minced onion and cook over a low heat until the onion is yellowed. Add seasonings to the diced celery, mixing all together. If you prefer, use one tablespoon celery seed rather than the celery. Mix well.
Have prepared brad and cracker crumbs in a good-sized bowl and mix with the fat, onion mixture, making sure the crumbs are well saturated. It should be cool before it is stuffed into the bird.
Add enough cold water to the stuffing to make the mixture just cling together. This avoids a soggy stuffing. You may have to rewarm just before dinner is served.
