Port is a sweet red wine that's often served as a dessert beverage, but it adds a deep flavor to our family's hearty stuffing. —Denise Hruz, Germantown, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup port wine or 2 tablespoons grape juice plus 2 tablespoons chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1 large tart apple, peeled, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pound bulk sage pork sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 package (12 ounces) seasoned stuffing cubes
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh sage
  • Additional thinly sliced fresh sage, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small saucepan, bring wine to a boil. Stir in cherries; remove from the heat. In a small bowl, combine apple and lemon juice; toss to coat. Set aside cherry and apple mixtures.
  2. In a Dutch oven, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon; drain. In the same pan, saute onion and celery in oil until tender. Add the broth, orange juice and butter; heat until butter is melted.
  3. Stir in the stuffing cubes, walnuts, sage, cherry mixture, apple mixture and sausage. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes. If desired, top with additional sliced fresh sage.
