These are super easy to make and are a great appetizer at a cocktail party. I made these for my holiday party last year, and the plate of sausages disappeared. The ingredients are a bit unusual, so they can be hard to find. But, luckily, I live near a well-stocked Acme. They carry both the uncooked breakfast sausage: Johnsonville - and the ginger preserve: Mackay's. The ginger preserve was in their rather extensive jam section. Or try looking in an international aisle in the British section. Once you find the ingredients, the recipe is very easy to make. I cut the sausages in half, and serve with a bowl of toothpicks in the middle, and you have an easy and tasty appetizer.

LOVE THESE! Problem we have here in U.S. is finding raw breakfast sausages. We have smoked cocktail franks, but the smoky flavour is MUCH too strong..... I have only just yesterday found an alternative: Hillshire Farms makes UN-smoked pork or beef cocktail sausages which work great and are available all over the U.S. As for the ginger preserve, if you live in the Southeast you can get it at Publix in the British food section (the best brand I've found so far is called Duerr's Chunky Ginger Preserve. If you can't find it in your local area or a British market, you can also order it from Amazon. Lastly, (bowing my head in deference to Her Nigella-ness I must confess that I slightly tweak the recipe by also adding 1/2 tsp of toasted sesame oil to the marinade. It helps caramelise everything in the oven. I served these last night and they vanished!

Please let me know where to find and the brand of Ginger Conserve. Edwina thank you for the tip. How much powdered ginger did you add to how much marmalade? All you lovely reviewers, when you post, it is very helpful to give amounts substituted, as well as things like thickness of steak, chicken, etc. substituted, if that is what you are substituting; how long did you bake something and at what temperature (all the things you would like to know when reading someone's comments, etc.

I made these little sausages for Thanksgiving appetizers - They almost disappeared before I got them on the appetizer table - they are fantastic. My one problem was that I couldn't find "Ginger Conserve" - I substituted orange marmalade with some powdered ginger added. I didn't know the correct amount, so I "guessed" ...they were wonderful !

Great sauce! This has a nice sweet/tangy bite to it. Makes the appetizer much more interesting!
