Jersey Apple and Sage Sausage Rolls with Black Butter Glaze

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, diced Jersey apple, and chopped fresh sage. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, but don't overmix.

Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle approximately 30cm x 20cm. If using pre-rolled pastry, unfold it onto the floured surface.

Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1cm border along one long edge.

Brush the pastry border with beaten egg.

Starting from the opposite long edge, tightly roll up the pastry to form a long sausage roll.

Cut the sausage roll into 6 equal pieces.

Place the sausage rolls onto the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining beaten egg.

Gently warm the Black Butter in a small saucepan or microwave until easily spreadable. Lightly brush the top of each sausage roll with the warmed Black Butter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage meat is cooked through.

Let the sausage rolls cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
