Dried Cranberry Dressing!

Dressing is always my favorite dish at any holiday table. This version features dried cranberries that act like sweet-tart gems bringing balance to the rich stock and butter-soaked bread cubes. If you’re lucky, you’ll get one in every bite. Make your own crusty bread using the recipe for Pan d’Epi below or use a crusty, country-style loaf.This recipe was featured on the Holiday Special of The Farm on Public Television.
