APPLE AND ONION DRESSING (STUFFING)

This recipe is from a 1970's recipe book in my collection.

1 cup butter or margarine

1 cup chopped onion

2 cups peeled, cored, diced apples

1 cup chopped celery

6 cups diced fresh bread, oven dried

1 1/2 cups raisins, currants or golden raisins

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp paprika

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup cooking sherry

1/4 cup chicken broth (your own or canned)

In a large skillet, melt butter or margarine; add onion, apples and celery and sauté for 7 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients except chicken broth; toss lightly. Remove from heat and stuff crown roast, chicken, etc or place in a greased casserole. If you are not using as stuffing, increase chicken broth to 1/2 cup and place in a greased casserole dish and bake, covered, for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
