Cherry, Chestnut & Walnut Pork Stuffing Loaf
Home » COOK » Recipes » Holiday Recipes » Christmas Recipes »It has become somewhat of a tradition of mine to make a fruity stuffing to go with my roast turkey. I generally make roll them into balls and cook the rest in a loaf. This year, I didn’t cook turkey, but I had to make stuffing!
I don’t like to use sausage meat to make stuffing, I prefer to use lean pork mince and add a little fat in the form of smoke bacon. But feel free to use pork sausage meat instead. This stuffing loaf is very nice cold, which we ate the next day with the Cranberry & Apple Sauce I’d made.
