Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup dried mixed-fruit bits

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine broth and dried fruit in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH for 2 minutes or until hot. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.
3. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook 8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add broth mixture, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat; stir in stuffing mix, tossing well.
