New Years Fare
Posted Sun, 11/21/04
The following sounds like a tasty appetizer from Campbell's Kitchen:
Sausage Bites
1/2 pkg. Pepperidge Farm Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet)
1/2 LB bulk pork sausage*
Thaw the pastry sheet at room temperature for thirty minutes. Preheat the oven to 400-degrees F. Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll into 12"x10" rectangle; cut into three (3") strips. Divide the sausage into thirds; roll each into a cylinder the length of the pastry. Place on edge of pastry strip. Starting at the long side, roll up. Press edges to seal. Cut each roll into twelve (1") slices. Place cut-side down 1-1/2" apart on baking sheet. Bake for fifteen minutes or until golden and sausage is done. Makes 36 appetizers.
Tips: *You can substitute Italian sausage (casing removed) for bulk pork sausage. To make pastries ahead, cut into slices and place on baking sheet. Freeze. When frozen, store in plastic bag for up to one month. To bake, preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Place frozen slices on baking sheet. Bake for twenty minutes or until golden and sausage is done.
Since Thanksgiving and Christmas are basically a given (turkey and ham respectively), the sausage treats might make a good nibble for New Years Eve along with a glass of Blackberry Merlot.
