Crown Prince squash, cranberry and corn bread crouton stuffing

AuthorJess

Thanksgiving v Christmas - which is best? One thing is for sure – they’ve got it right with their corn bread croutons. They make amazing stuffing. Try it because the results are completely different to the bread based stuffing we tend to have. You can buy them online, or make your own

If you’re stuffing, not dressing, this should be enough for a 5kg bird.

Yields1 Serving
 3 tbsp Olive oil or melted butter, more for greasing baking sheet and dish
 500 g Corn bread, preferably stale, roughly crumbled
 1 kg Crown prince, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
 350 g Fresh cranberries
 150 g Coarsely chopped hazelnuts
 2 tbsp Fresh chopped sage leaves
 4 tbsp Honey
 125 ml Double cream
 125 ml Full fat milk
 Salt and pepper
1

Heat oven to 180 degC.

Toss the squash in olive oil and roast until soft.

Lay the corn bread out in a roasting tray and bake until beginning to crisp

In a large bowl, combine corn bread, squash, cranberries, nuts, and sage. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix the cream and milk and stir oil or butter and honey into cream and drizzle over stuffing mixture, stirring to lightly moisten everything. Do not saturate it, just soften it. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Stuff bird or oil an appropriate sized bowl, fill, lightly press and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes, remove the foil, baste with a couple of spoonfuls of liquid from the cooking turkey and cook for another ten minutes.
