COCKTAIL SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400 degrees F.
• Separate the sausages if they are linked and arrange them in a large, shallow-sided roasting tin.
• Whisk together the oil, honey and soy sauce and pour over the sausages, then use your hands, or a couple of spatulas, to move everything about in the pan so that all the sausages are slicked.
• Roast for 25 to 30 minutes; give them a shuffle about halfway through cooking if you happen to be near the oven.

BACON-WRAPPED COCKTAIL SAUSAGES

• Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Working in batches, add the sausages to the hot oil and fry until the bacon is browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet using a slotted spoon. Return the oil to 360˚ between batches.
• Remove the toothpicks and toss the sausages with the pineapple barbecue sauce.

• 2. Open a package of crescent rolls and spread out on a piece of waxed paper. Use a pastry brush to spread a layer of mustard over the crescent roll.

• 4. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes at 350F or until crescent rolls are browned. Or** Make these the day in advance. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the rolls are set, but not really cooked. Cool and refrigerate. Bake off the next day for about 7 minutes in a 350F oven.

GLAZED HONEY & MUSTARD SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Pour the oil into a large roasting tin and heat in the oven for 3-4 minutes. Tip the sausages into the roasting tin and toss to lightly coat in the oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
• Drain the sausages well on kitchen paper, then tip them into a clean roasting tin. Blend the honey and mustard together in a small bowl, pour over the sausages and stir and shake them so they become coated. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, turning them over halfway. Serve hot or warm, with cocktail sticks and little pots of ketchup and mustard for dipping.
• Prepare ahead: you can roast the sausages the day before, cool them on kitchen paper and then just keep them in a plastic container in the fridge overnight. Toss in the honey and mustard mix and reheat for 10-12 minutes in the oven before serving.
• Stagger the cooking: heat half the sausages through in half the honey and mustard mix just before your guests arrive, then do the other half just as this first batch runs out.
