Directions:
|
1. Heat 1 tbsp. butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking meat up into small pieces, until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Transfer sausage to small bowl with slotted spoon, set aside. Discard fat, return skillet to burner. Heat remaining butter over medium-low heat; add onion and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add pears and apple; continue to cook over low heat onion begins to brown, 10-12 minutes. Increase heat to high, add brandy, and cook until reduced by half. Remove pan from heat; cool mixture to room temperature.
2. Whisk eggs, stock, salt and pepper and nutmeg in large bowl. Add sausage, cooled fruit mixture, chestnuts, bread cubes, prunes, and walnuts; toss gently to coat. Adjust seasonings to taste.
3. Place stuffing into buttered shallow baking dish; bake at 350°F, covered with buttered aluminum foil, until knife inserted into center feels warm to the touch, 25-40 minutes depending on amount of stuffing. Uncover and bake until top crisps slightly, 5-10 minutes.
