This chorizo black cherry stuffing is the shining star at my holiday table. Friends and family have told me time and time again that it is the best stuffing they've ever eaten, and they can't wait for me to make it every holiday season. I have to admit, chorizo stuffing pairs extremely well with all the holiday favorites. The black cherries compliment the spicy chorizo and the sun-dried tomatoes tie all the flavors together. Try this delicious stuffing this year for a new tradition worth its weight in gold.
