Ingredients:
- 1 loaf rustic Italian bread, cubed
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 4 tsp minced garlic
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup thawed frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 4 celery stalks
- 2 Tbsp coarsely chopped fresh sage
- 1 can peach halves in heavy syrup, drained (reserve the syrup)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Arrange bread in a single layer on baking sheet, let stand, uncovered, at room temperature overnight. (Or you can bake the bread at 300 degrees for about 15 minutes to dry it out, but not brown it.)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery and garlic, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the bread and toss to combine.
- Whisk peach syrup into the orange juice concentrate, then add to the bread mixture with the peaches.
- Spoon the stuffing into a buttered 9x13 baking dish, cover with parchment paper, then foile, and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover the dish, and bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
