  • In a bowl,toss the bread cubes,parsley,basil,poultry seasoning,1/2 teaspoon salt,and 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper.
  • Stir in the vegetable mixture,oysters,and spinach.
  • Add the oyster liquid to moisten,may add a little fresh cows milk to moisten it further.
  • Spoon some of the dressing into the body of your Capons...but also form some of the dressing into balls,using about 1/2 cup for each,placing them in greased muffin pans and bake in a 325 degree oven for about 30 minutes,allow them to stand for about 10 minutes,before you remove them from there incasement...these look nice around the birds,along with the other items served with this particular dinner fare.
