This stuffing is delicious. This is the second Thanksgiving I've made it and it was as good as I remembered it. Great flavor with the cranberries and honey and nuts. I might try adding a chopped apple next time. I was a little confused by the directions for the chicken broth ( 2 8 oz. cans) as cans are typically 14.5 ounces. So I used the 2 full 14.5 oz. cans, which made it seem very moist, but once it baked it firmed up nicely and browned. I may try just 16 oz. of broth next time to see if it makes a big difference. Either way, this is my go-to stuffing recipe from now on. No more Stove-top boxed stuffing anymore!
