Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Pork chipolata sausages
- 12 slices Smoked streaky bacon
- 2 tablespoons Soft brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or 180°C (350°F) for fan ovens. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Lay the smoked streaky bacon slices flat on a clean work surface. If the bacon slices are particularly wide or long, trim them slightly to suit the size of the sausages.
Take each chipolata sausage and wrap it tightly in a single slice of bacon, securing the end of the bacon underneath to keep it in place. Place the bacon-wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, maple syrup, and ground black pepper until combined. Use a pastry brush or spoon to lightly coat each sausage roll with the sugar and syrup mixture. This will create a beautifully caramelized glaze as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown and the sausages are cooked through. Turn the sausages halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up evenly.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a serving platter. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary, if desired, for a festive touch.
Serve warm as part of your Christmas trimmings or holiday appetizer spread. Enjoy!
