A Bug's Life

I used chipolatas, the marinade smells gorgeous while it's cooking, it's dead easy to cook sausages in the oven and not pay them any attention, it's gluten free and dairy free if you use gf sausages.

250g ready to eat dried apricots (I used super soft squidgy ones)
1 teaspoon mixed spice (I didn't have any and used a mulling spice sachet instead, mmm, orange and cloves)
1 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce, or Worcestershire sauce)
2 teaspoons red thai curry paste
salt and pepper
300-400ml water

Cook all ingredients in a saucepan over a medium heat for about 20 mins till the apricots are soft. Start with 300ml water, add more if it reduces too much. Leave to cool then liquidise into a puree. I left some lumps in.

12-18 sausages or 20-30 chipolatas

Put sausages in an oven tray, brush with olive oil, slather in apricot puree. Marinade for up to 24 hours.

Cook sausages as per instructions in oven.

You now have a tray full of delicious sausages.
