    Very tasty with loads of flavour and went well with the Christmas turkey. Would have worked better if making the balls smaller - 16 instead of 8 with one rasher per ball. K

    I made these for Christmas day and made them the day before and rested them in the fridge. They were delicious and went down really well with our guests. They are really easy to make.

    For a more simple version of this I tend to use pork and apple sausages (rather than adding all of the ingredients), then roll them in pre-pack stuffing mix before wrapping in bacon.

    Perfect for Christmas day. Like elliej I used pork and bramley apple sausages, I made them into smaller balls like KJS (with two thirds of the ingredients I still ended up with 15,) and following Jackie's suggestion I made them the day before which was ideal. They went down very well indeed and also looked great too.

    I used fresh chestnuts for this and it was well worth the hour it took me to peel them, will be a part of all roast dinners from now on.

    Very, very good and looks impressive. Used a mixture of half smoked bacon sausages and pork and apple sausages. Baked balls in a mini muffin tin to avoid mess.
