Fruited Stuffing Balls

• 2 cups diced celery
• 12 cup chopped onion
• 13 cup butter, melted
• 4 cups season stuffing cubes (I used cornbread)
• 1 cup dried apricot, finely chopped
• 34-1 cup chicken broth
• 12 cup raisins
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 14 cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 12 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

1. In a large skillet, saute celery and onion in butter until tender.
2. Remove from the heat.
3. Add remaining ingredients; mix well.
4. Shape into balls (12 tennis ball or 24 golf ball sized).
5. Place in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish (it also worked well for me on a cookie sheet with parchment paper).
6. Bake, uncovered for 18-20 minutes for smaller balls and 20 -25 minutes for larger, until golden brown.
