This is delish! So easy to make, too. Took your lead and used it to stuff squash. I love the sweet and sour together plus the addition of the celery which gives it a bit of a crunch. I used the rice cooker to cook the two rices mixed together. I have a ton of fresh cranberries leftover from Thanksgiving to use- so this was great. Thanks for posting, I would make this again for sure.
