Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) sliced bread
3 medium onions, chopped
3 medium tart apples, peeled and chopped
1-1/2 cups diced fully cooked ham
1 cup sliced celery
1 tablespoon dried savory
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1/2 cup butter
1-1/2 cups slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup dried currants
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup apple juice

Directions

Cut bread into 1/2-in. cubes and place in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 225° for 30-40 minutes or until partially dried, tossing occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onions, apple, ham, celery and seasonings in butter for 15 minutes or until onions and apples are tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, almonds, currants, broth and juice; toss well.
Place in a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 325° for 1 hour. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until heated through and lightly browned. Yield: 16 servings (12 cups stuffing).

Editor's Note: This is suitable to stuff a 14- to 16-pound turkey.
