Party Sausages with Honey & Mustard Glaze

Delicious & sticky party sausages wrapped in bacon & glazed with mixture of honey & mustard for added sweetness & gentle heat. Easy party food loved by all! Perfect little nibble for any occasion!

These super simple party sausages have so much going for them! They are:

• Quick and easy to make.
• Can be made in advance.
• They make perfect buffet style party food but also Christmas side dish (jazzed up mini pigs in blankets)!
• They are loved by kids and adults alike.

Party Sausages - Making Your Own Cocktail Sausages

I made these party cocktail sausages from standard size chipolatas in less than 5 minutes! 12 chipolatas will give you 24 cocktail sausages which (if you forgot to buy these already made) will save you stress and hassle. You can of course use shop bought cocktail sausages instead.

To make your own cocktail sausages all you need to do is the following:

1. Squeeze each of your chipolata sausages gently in the middle. Take care not to break the casing.
2. Twist it around couple of times to separate your chipolata into two cocktail sausages.
3. Cut into two!

Making Party Sausages in Advance

One of the great things about these sausages is that you can make them in advance and there are two ways to do it:

1. You can prepare them up until the point when they are all done, wrapped in bacon and ready for the oven. Simply pop them in airtight container and keep in the fridge to cook later. Alternatively, you can pop them in freezer proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight and follow the rest of the recipe below.
2. You could also roast them and then store in the fridge or freezer before reheating  in the oven with honey and mustard glaze on when you need them.

Few tips and serving suggestions

One very important thing to remember is to stock up on cocktail sticks! As trivial as it sounds realising you don't have any 5 minutes before the party could cause you a bit of a headache! Check out bottom of this post for some more recipe ideas from my fellow bloggers that you will need cocktail sticks for.

I love fresh sage and how beautifully it goes with pork plus the good thing is you don't have to remove it before eating. If you're not a fan feel free to leave it out or substitute with different herb of choice. Fresh rosemary would work well here but would have to be removed prior to consuming due to woodiness of its stalk.

These little jazzed up pigs in blankets are delicious as they are because of the glaze but having little dishes with some mustard and ketchup handy will never go amiss especially with the kids.

Also try my Easy Cranberry Compote (Sauce) with Rosemary or even a shop bought version as a delicious and tangy dipping sauce. Yum!

Last but not least, try my homemade orange marmalade if you fancy alternative glaze for your sausages. A little bit of orange bitter sweetness will work so well here.

Making Party Sausages - Step-By-Step Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
• Take a slice of bacon/pancetta and put it on the cutting board.
• Stretch it gently first and then cut in half.
• Place fresh sage leaf at the bottom end of each half of bacon/pancetta and put your cocktail sausage on top.
• Starting from the bottom, roll your sausage in bacon/pancetta making sure that bacon overlaps nicely and covers all of the sausage.
• Repeat with all remaining bacon/pancetta and sausages.

• Grease your large baking dish or tray with 1-2 tablespoons of rapeseed/olive oil and arrange your prepared pigs in blankets.
• Roast in preheated oven for approx. 25 minutes until browned and cooked through.

• While your sausages are roasting prepare honey and mustard glaze by mixing mustard and honey together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Once your sausages had 25 minutes in the oven take them out and increase the oven temperature to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6.
• Pour the glaze over the sausages and move them around with spatula or shake the dish around a bit so that they are nicely covered in glaze.
• Pop them back in the oven for 5-10 minutes (depending on your oven) turning them over half way through. Make sure you watch them at this point.
• Serve hot or at room temperature as party food or side dish and dips of your choice.
