  • 1 lb. pork sausage
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1 sweet onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins or dried cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

  2. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or so.
  3. Meanwhile, for stuffing, in skillet, cook onion and celery in some olive oil. Add pork and cook until meat is cooked and vegetables are tender. Drain off any fat. Stir in garlic, raisins or cranberries, salt, curry powder, and cinnamon. Stir in applesauce and stuffing mix. Add enough applesauce so that mixture is moist, not too dry.
