Ingredients:

Serving

12 oz fresh cranberries
6 tbsp sugar
7/8 cup water
1 oz butter
6 shallots, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 bunch fresh sage, finely chopped
6 sprigs fresh thyme , leaves picked
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 lbs sausage meat
14 oz streaky bacon, finely chopped
7 oz fresh white breadcrumbs
4 tbsp walnuts, lightly crushed (optional)
1 lemon , zest of, finely grated
16 slices prosciutto
vegetable oil , for dabbing

Directions:

Put the cranberries and the sugar in a small saucepan. Add in the water and stir, then heat until bubbling gently and stir again until the sugar has dissolved.
Turn off the heat and leave to go cold. The berries should have softened and deflated slightly.
Heat the butter in a frying pan. Add in shallots and garlic and fry gently until the shallots have softened but not coloured. Remove from heat.
Mix in the sage and thyme then season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Mix in the sausage meat, minced bacon, breadcrumbs, walnuts and lemon zest. Use your fingers and make sure everything is well mixed together.
Drain away the syrup from the cranberries, then stir the berries into the stuffing mix.
Shape the stuffing into 8 balls, each the size of a large golf ball.
Wrap each one in two slices of prosciutto. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge to firm up, ideally overnight.
Once the turkey has finished roasting, preheat the oven to 400°F Remove the plastic wrap from the stuffing balls and place them across a shallow roasting tin, leaving lots of space between them.
Dab them all over with a little oil and roast for 30 minutes or so until crisped and cooked through.
