If you are using frozen peppers, then set them aside, otherwise, sauté them with the onion and celery.
Sauté the vegetables until they are translucent.
Translucent vegetables
While you are doing this, bring the water to a simmer and add the vegetable base.
In a large bowl, put the stuffing mix and the Chipotle powder. Carefully add the vegetable base, and vegetables. Stir until completely mixed.
Add the cranberries, raisins, chestnuts and sour cherry preserves. Mix thoroughly.
Stuffing in the Bowl[
Have ready a small casserole dish. Put the mixture in the dish.
You may cover the dish and set it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve or bake it in a 350 over for about 20 minutes.
Notes
Variations You may use canned vegetable stock instead of the vegetable base. If you use fresh pepper instead of frozen, then they need to go in with the onions and celery.
