gerisullivanI forgot to mention the blueberry juice-flavored craisins that I added to the stuffing. I didn't have any standard dried cranberries (craisins) and I wanted to maintain the fruitiness quotient in the stuffing.
Starting out hot and then lowering the temp had the effect of sealing in the juices, which is what I was aiming for. However, that leaves me light on basting juices and I didn't want to just keep layering the butter on. So I'm experimenting. I just added a light basting of orange-pineapple juice, followed by a heavy dosing from a bottle of porter. The aroma is still working for me; I think all will be fine.
