Starters & Canapés: Maple-Mustard Chipolatas

Christmas won’t be Christmas without a deliciously, sticky roasted sausage being serves as a canapé. They go perfectly with almost any drink from beer to cocktails and even bubbly and they are always a crowd pleaser. I wanted to use traditional Christmas flavourings to spice up my little pork sausages and so decided to make a glaze using wholegrain mustard, dijon mustard and maple syrup. I love how the maple syrup caramelises and goes wonderfully sticky and the subtle heat from the mustard. When I made these, they lasted all of 30 seconds with everyone reaching and pushing to get to them. Serve them in bowls and believe me when I say, don’t just make one batch. You won’t be sorry if you do!
