Step 1 Heat the oven to 200°C. Line a tray with parchment. Lay out the halved smoked streaky bacon and place a cocktail sausage at one end of each strip. Some of our favourite combinations: Brie and cranberry; Fig chutney, black pudding and rosemary; Blue cheese, prune and thyme; Blue cheese and chilli jam; Apple slice and chilli jam; Apple slice, pickled shallot and thyme.

Step 2 Arrange all the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the tray. Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and the sausages are cooked through. Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving so the fillings settle, then pile onto a warm platter ready for dipping and grazing.
