18 each whole pitted prunes
1/2 cup dried currants
1 cup raisins
24 each dried apricot halves
1/4 cup bourbon
3 each tart cooking apples, unpeeled,
cored and chopped
3 each large onions, peeled and diced
3 each celery ribs, diced
4 tablespoons melted butter
2/3 cup whole macadamia nuts
2/3 cup whole cashews
1 cup unsalted walnut pieces
2 cups whole raw cranberries
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dried chervil leaves
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 each eggs, slightly beated
Put the prunes, currants, raisins, and apricot halves in a
bowl and pour the bourbon over the fruit. Cover bowl
and soak overnight. If you are using salted macadamia
nuts and salted cashews, put them in a strainer and
remove salt by rinsing them under cold water. Dry on
paper towels. Heat 2 tbsp. vegetable oil in a skillet and
add the nuts. Toast them, stirring constantly, until golden.
Combine the apples, onions, and celery in a large skillet
along with the butter. Cook the mixture over moderate
heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and
celery is tender, about 11 minutes. Transfer the onion
mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the macerated fruit
and all remaining ingredients. Gently mix the stuffing with
2 large spoons until evenly blended. Set aside the stuffing
while you prepare the turkey for roasting. Stuff turkey
3/4 full and roast according to size.
(for a 20 lb. turkey, approx. 9 cups)
