Jessica, of Jessica’s Natural Foods, asked me to choose one of her granola’s and create another recipe for her. I chose the nut-free (except for coconut) Gluten-Free Cherry & Berry Granola; so my grandchildren, who are allergic to nuts, could sample my new dish. This granola, like all of Jessica’s granolas is gluten free and has no transfats or cholesterol. The sweetened granola is speckled with loads of dried cherries, blueberries and cranberries. Last time I created a recipe for Jessica’s granola, I made a Pecan Almond Coconut Granola Brittle. This time, I decided to turn the granola into something savoury- stuffing! You can stuff poultry, fish or vegetables. I kept it gluten-free by adding gluten free bread to the granola. Enjoy
