Bulgar Wheat

1/2 cup apple juice

1/4 cup dried apples

10 dried apricots

1/4 cup raisins

1 8−ounce package seasoned bread stuffing

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or pecans

1/2 to 3/4 cups fat−free and low sodium chicken broth

Salt and pepper for seasoning

Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add the bulgar wheat, bring

back to a boil. Lower heat just enough so that the pot doesn't spill

over and cook for 15 minutes.

While the bulgar is cooking, pour the apple juice into a micro−safe

measuring cup. Chop the apples and apricots. Add the apples, apricots

and raisins to the apple juice stirring to combine. Microwave at full

power for 1 minute and set aside.

Drain the bulgar wheat and return to the pot. Stir in the bread

stuffing, apples, apricots, raisins and pine nuts. Stir in just enough

chicken broth to moisten the bread. Season to taste with salt and 3−

4 minutes. The stuffing can be

made 2 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
