- Melt the butter in a pan and saute the onion and celery for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and put to one side to cool.
- Add the sausage meat, Crazy Jack apricots, orange zest, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs and chestnuts and season well. Stir and roll into 24 balls.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5. Stretch each bacon rasher along a board with the back of a cook’s knife, then cut in half widthways and wrap each half around a stuffing ball. Secure with a cocktail stick.
- Place the stuffing balls on a non-stick baking tray and cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Serve immediately.
