Bring chicken broth to boil. Add butter, vegetables, honey and spices. Boil for 3 minutes. Turn heat off and add diced bagels and fruit. With spoon fold mixture to evenly distribute all ingredients.

Grease a 9 x 13-inch cake pan or casserole dish. Place stuffing into pan. Bake at 400 degrees F., uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until desired texture is reached.
