Ingredients
- 1 17.3 oz package of frozen puff pastry (2 sheets)
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage *see note
- 8 oz cherry jam
- 4 oz. cooked beets
- 1 large egg + 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Open your thawed puff pastry sheets onto a floured surface and cut in half lengthwise. (See photo above.)
- Remove the casing from your sausages using scissors or a knife.
- Place the sausage onto the edge of your puff pastry sheet and roll tightly pinching the ends together using your fingers so it's nice and sealed. Repeat with the remaining 3 pastry sheets.
- Take the rolled sausage pastries and stretch them out to elongate them a bit. Hold it up and allow gravity to take hold!
- Add intestine sausages to a parchment lined baking sheet to mimic what an intestines looks like. (See photo above.)
- Scramble egg and water together and brush over top the intestines.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Let cool and then brush cherry beet sauce over top (or you can drizzle it over). Serve!

Notes
I purchase my sausage in the casing and used 4 sausages. If you purchase sausage not in the casing, simply divide it into 4 parts and shape it with your hands.
The puff pastry will come out flaky. Adding the sauce to it will cause it to soften so I suggest waiting to add the sauce until last minute or serve the "blood" on the side for dipping.
