*To make your own bread stuffing using fresh or day-old bread, dice the bread
into 1-inch cubes and heat in a low oven (225ºF) until dried, about 15-20 minutes.
1. Add bread stuffing, apple, cherries, pecans, and sage to stoneware. Toss to
combine.
2. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add celery, shallot,
garlic, mushrooms, and bacon. Sauté until softened and lightly browned,
about 4-5 minutes.
3. Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock, using a wooden spoon to lift any
bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Pour this mixture into the stoneware. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir
to blend.
5. Cover; cook on HIGH for 3-5 hours, stirring periodically, until bread softens
and stuffing begins to bind.
