Jammy Sausage Plaits

Serves:  Makes 6 plaits

Cooking time:  15-20 minutes

Oven temperature:  Gas Mark 6, 200ºC, 400ºF             

 

INGREDIENTS:

6 Chunky Pork and tomato sausages, skins removed

500g All-butter puff pastry

Onion jam or similar onion or fruit chutney

1 Egg mixed with a little milk

                   

METHOD:

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6, 200ºC, 400ºF.

Cut pastry in half lengthways.  Roll out to about 30cm x10cm.

With the longest length of pastry closest to you, place 3 separate teaspoons full of jam or chutney straight onto the pastry, spacing out evenly, and allowing space for the ‘plaits’.  Top the jam with a skinless sausage. 

Cut between the sausages creating 3 ‘plaits’.  Now cut parallel, diagonal slits either side of the sausage in the pastry about 1cm apart.

Lightly brush with water and then ‘plait’/fold the strips alternately over one another.  Repeat with remaining pastry.

Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.  Bake in a preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until pastry is risen and golden.

Serve hot or cold in a picnic or as a snack with heaps of seasonal salad.
