Spelt Bread Stuffing w/ Dried Fruit & Herbs
Spelt bread makes an incredible, moist stuffing that’s lighter than regular bread stuffing. Sweet pears and fresh herbs add a beautiful layer of flavor to this dish that the whole family will enjoy. Serve with your favorite holiday sides.
8 cups spelt or rye bread (about 8-9 slices), crumbled or cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon coconut butter (health food store)

2 shallots, minced
2 medium pears, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
1/2 cup dried cherries optional
2 1/2 cups hot vegetable stock or broth
