The first of this month's Christmas themed bakes and I've got a recipe for a giant stuffing roll featuring all your Christmas favourites including chestnuts, cranberries and sage. Think of it like a huge pig in a blanket!
A perfect stuffing accompaniment for your Christmas lunch and big enough to feed the masses.  Â
Â
Ingredients
Â
450g pork sausage
200g vacuum-packed chestnuts
175g cranberries
140g Bramley apple
1 onion
1 egg
100g white breadcrumb
14 rashers streaky bacon
parsley, sage and thyme leaves
Â


Â
Putting it all Together
Put the oven at 190C.
Heat some oil in a frying pan, and fry the chopped onion for 5 mins until softened. Whilst the onion is cooking finely chop the apples and set aside.
Â

Â
Cut the sausage meat out of their casing into a large bowl. Roughly chop the chesnuts, sage, thyme and parsley before adding to the bowl along with all the other ingredients, except the cranberries and bacon. Season and mix well.
Â



Â
Butter and season a large sheet of foil before overlapping the bacon on top. Spoon the mixture over the bacon, leaving a border. Scatter the cranberries over the mixture and lightly press into the mixture. Fold the bacon over the mixture before rolling the stuffing up like a burrito, using the foil to help you.Â
Â



Â
Pop on to a baking tray and put in the oven to cook for 45 mins. Unwrap, before putting the log back in the oven for another 15 mins to crisp up the bacon. Â
Serve alongside your Christmas dinner!
