Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
- Mix the minced pork, breadcrumbs, lemon thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper, apricots, chestnuts and 1 beaten egg together until thoroughly combined.
- Open out the pastry sheet and cut in half, lengthwise, to make two long rectangles.
- Divide the pork mixture into two and lay it along the centre of the two pastry pieces. Brush one of the long edges on each of the pastry rectangles with beaten egg. Fold the other side of the pastry over the pork and press the egg-washed edge on to it to seal.
- Cut each long roll into six pieces to form sausage rolls.
- Make a couple of cuts in the top of each sausage roll and brush with beaten egg.
- Put the sausage rolls on greased baking sheets, allowing space between each for them to expand when cooking. Place in the oven for 15 mins, or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet.
