Ingredients

3 1/2 cups water, divided
1 1/2 cups low fat, low sodium chicken broth
1 cup uncooked wild rice
1/3 pound bacon
3 cups diced onions
3 cups diced celery
1 tablespoon water
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
1 3/4 cups currants
3/4 cup dried cherries
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 ounce dried apricots
1 cup diced, unpeeled apples
1/2 cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
6 tablespoons dried mixed herbs

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring 1 1/2 cups water and the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in wild rice. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Reserving drippings, drain bacon, crumble, and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix the bacon and the onion mixture into the rice mixture. Season with the Italian parsley and dried mixed herbs.
