This stuffing is definitely one of my favourites – it is a must for Christmas. It is a rich and fruity stuffing with tangy cranberries, zesty orange, apple and nutty-tasting roasted chestnuts all wrapped in bacon. Delicious!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas mark 5.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the onion and apple until softened. Add the dried sage and gently fry for a further minute. Set aside to cool
- In a large bowl add the sausagemeat, cranberries, chestnuts, orange zest and onion mixture. Season to taste. Mix through with your hands until fully combined and shape into a rectangle shape.
- Wrap the sausagemeat with the bacon rashers, four around the centre and four around the ends to secure. Turn over and place on a baking tray.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Can this be prepared ahead and frozen?
Yes, you can make in advance and freeze before cooking. I hope you enjoy the recipe 😊
