Terrie's Oyster Stuffing

Ingredients

• 1 lb. shucked oysters - about 40 medium oysters, such as Bluepoints, with 1 cup of the liquor reserved
• 14 oz of white French bread, cubed into 1/2" pieces (about 11 cups)
• 6 slices of bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4" strips
• 6 shallots, thinly sliced
• 4 ribs of celery, thinly sliced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1/4 cup pernod, madeira, or port
• 1/2 cup chopped parsley
• 2 Tbsp chopped thyme
• 2 Tbsp chopped sage
• 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 250°F.
2. Arrange bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake, stirring occasionally, until dried but not browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
3. Put sliced bacon into 12" skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until crisp and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes.
4. Add 4 Tbsp of the butter to the bacon and heat.
5. Add the shallots and celery, reduce heat to medium.
6. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
7. Add oyster liquor, stock, pernod (or Madeira or port), parsley, sage, thyme, nutmeg, cloves, Tabasco, salt and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
8. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the bread cubes and raw oysters. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.
9. Raise the oven temperature to 411°F. Transfer the mixture to a buttered 2qt. oval baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
10. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and drizzle with remaining butter.
11. Continue baking until golden brown and crusty, about 15 more minutes. Serve immediately.
