Ingredients

• 300g sausage meat (or skinned sausages)
• ½ onion, finely chopped
• 100g Cranberry Cheshire
  
• Drizzle of honey
• 100g cranberry sauce
• 320g puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten
• Dried rosemary
  

Method

1. Prepare the filling:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, chopped onion, Cranberry Cheshire, and a drizzle of honey. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Roll the pastry:
    Roll out the puff pastry and lightly roll it over with a rolling pin to create a smooth, even surface.
3. Add the filling:
    Place the sausage mixture in a long line, approximately one-quarter of the way into the pastry sheet.
4. Add the cranberry layer:
    Spread the cranberry sauce along the top of the sausage mixture.
5. Seal the pastry:
    Brush the edge of the pastry with beaten egg, then fold the long side over the filling. Press the edges down with a fork to seal.
6. Slice and finish:
    Cut into equal-sized sausage rolls, brush with more egg wash, and sprinkle dried rosemary on top for enhanced flavour and aroma.
7. Bake:
    Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Serve warm for a melt-in-the-middle experience or enjoy cold as part of your festive grazing table, Christmas party buffets or at New Year's celebrations.
