Pepper to taste
Chicken or beef broth --
(canned)

Directions

My Scottish grandmother was a fine lady (and artist), yet had few recipes to hand down. This one is worth sharing. Now that Thanksgiving is around the bend, here's a great (although hardly low fat) and simple stuffing recipe she used to make.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl with your hands.

Form into a ball.

Tie in clean cloth (we used to cut up a old clean undershirt -- please no fabric softener -- gives weird taste) with rope.

Simmer tied up ball of stuffing one hour in broth.

Let it sit and get cold (you can prepare a day ahead).

Tastes best reheated.

Zap it in the microwave before serving.

The secret is the undershirt, although purists may want to substitute cheesecloth, etc.
