This is a really good stuffing recipe! I am not usually a fan of stuffing with a lot of 'stuff' in it; I usually only add celery and onions but this was good. I like the use of the fresh herbs, they gave it a lighter/fresher taste. The only change I would make is to use craisins rather than the dried cherries but only because I am not a fan of cherries in general; DH thought they were great in the stuffing. Made for 2012 Spring PAC.
