How to Make Wee Cranberry Stuffing Balls

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Sauté until softened but not browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups bread crumbs, the sautéed vegetable mixture, 1 large beaten egg, and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
  5. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  6. Shape the stuffing mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned. For frozen balls, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, covered with foil.
