Wee Cranberry Stuffing Balls

Bergy's Note:

These wee balls are a lovely side dish with chicken or pork. They look attractive. I sometimes add a few more cranberries. They can be frozen. Freeze separately and then place in zip lock bag. To heat frozen balls place in 350F Oven for 15 min, cover with foil.

Only OK, depends on whether you really like cranberries or not.

I made a mistake last night I left the balls in the oven for almost double the time and they wer never better. They were crunchy and I added a dab of hoy sauce to them. Bergy
