Home made Sausage Rolls with Tomato Jam

500g sausage mince
1 onion diced
handful of parsley chopped finely
2 gloves garlic crushed
3 eggs
5 pieces of stale bread - into breadcrumbs
good dollop of tomato sauce
same of worcestershire sauce
all purpose seasoning
puff pastry ( take out of freezer to soften )

blend remaining ingredients  ( except pastry of course )
mix above together
lay pastry out
place 2 rows of mince on pastry
fold pastry over ( as photo ) - from bottom and top to form 2 logs
cut pastry down the middle to split into 2 separate logs
cut logs into 4 -5 cm sausage rolls - or bigger - however you like your rolls
bake in oven on baking paper at 180 degrees until golden brown and puffed
( or place in snap log bags and freeze )
serve with Tomato Jam
NB we always cook one first to check for seasoning

0.5 kg onion
0.5 kg sugar
