Cranberry and Apple Stuffing

Submitted by: Sharyn from Glenn Jones Ford

I have been making this for over 30 years and still love it!  My children and their friends still love it, too!  This is the best dressing ever, hope you like it too!

1 lb. whole cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 pkgs (7 oz. each) Pepperage Farm stuffing (crumbled not cubed)
1 cup diced apples
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground mace

Heat cranberries with sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves.  Continue cooking while mashing berries with a fork, about 5 minutes, or until most berries are crushed; set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan.  Saute onion lightly.  Stir in cranberries and remaining ingredients.
Stuff and truss turkey and roast according to directions.

Makes about 12 cups of stuffing or enough for a 12-16 pound turkey.
