Party Sausage Rolls With Honey And Apricots
Bonfire night treat. Children and adults will enjoy making and eating these bonfire night snacks, served with a delicious sweet chilli and tomato dipping sauce.
Makes: 20 sausage rolls
Ingredients
375g pack Saxby's Ready Rolled Puff Pastry
450g pack Waitrose Pork Sausagemeat Stuffing
2 tbsp clear honey
75g Waitrose Wholesome Soft Apricots, roughly chopped
½ tsp dried sage
1 beaten egg, for glazing
For the sweet chilli and tomato sauce
4 tsp Blue Dragon Sweet Chilli Sauce
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. Unroll the pastry and cut in half lengthways.
- Place the sausagemeat in a bowl with the honey, apricots and sage, season well and combine with a fork. Divide the mixture in half and roll each into a long sausage the same length as the pastry.
- Place a sausage along each half of the pastry and fold the pastry over to cover the sausagemeat completely. Press the edges down firmly to seal.
- Brush the rolls with the beaten egg and cut each into
10 pieces. Place on a lightly greased baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 200°C, gas mark 6, and cook for a further 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden and risen, and the sausagemeat is fully cooked.
- Make the dip by combining the chilli sauce and ketchup. Serve with the warm sausage rolls.
Cook's tips
You can prepare these sausage rolls ahead, storing them uncooked in an airtight container and freezing them for up to 3 months. Try adding other ingredients to the sausagemeat instead of the apricots – dried cranberries, for example.
