- 3 tablespoons margarine
- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice

- 1 teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoon salt substitute
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1⁄2 cup raisins or 1/2 cup craisins
- 3⁄4 cup vegetable broth or 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 1⁄2 cups cornbread stuffing cubes or 2 1/2 cups cornbread, crumbled & dry
- Pam cooking spray
-
Sauce
- 1⁄4 cup red currant jelly
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground sage
directions
- In medium saucepan add dice tomatillos diced apple, diced onion, margarine, lemon juice, two 1 gram packets Splenda, salt, sage and pepper. Mix and cook on medium heat for about 6 or 7 minutes, stirring.
- In large bowl, add dressing cubes or leftover crumbled cornbread and raisins or craisins.
- Pour saucepan mixture over dressing and toss.
- Add broth.
- Toss until mixed.
- Preheat oven 400°.
- Spray Pam in a large round shallow sided baking dish or 8 X 8 baking dish. Fill dish with dressing.
- Bake 30 minutes uncovered.
- If topped with chicken breasts or fish fillets, place on top before cooking.
- Last 15 minutes of cooking, heat jelly and spices and spoon over meat or fish. I like to sprinkle a little paprika and chili powder on the meat or fish when it starts to cook, it browns quickly. Spoon sauce as directed if using chicken and fish with the dressing. You may also use turkey cutlets.
- Note: You may use sugar free jelly if desired.

<p>My husband & I built our dream home after our children were raised.We didn't hire a contractor, we pounded every nail and board and shingle on it.I have lots of stories to tell about that adventure. My passion is cooking, my grandchildren and living each day like it were my last. I love to drive the big rigs. I lived all over the world for a time and collected dolls and cookbooks. I write poetry. My other passions are the outdoors, country living, the sunrises and sunsets,to give to others more than I receive as it says in the Bible. As I get older I am less judgemental.I hope I have helped someone each and every day. Every day is an adventure! <br /><br />Event Participation! <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-SueL-FirstPlace.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /></p>
