GLAZED SAUSAGE SQUARES
Makes about 72 servings

Sweet, spicy and savory are the key flavor notes of these easy appetizers that are perfect for a crowd.

2 pounds lean ground pork
12 oz. pork breakfast sausage
2 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/3 cup apple jelly
1/3 cup apple chutney

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, salt, mustard, coriander, allspice, pepper, onion and garlic; stir in bread crumbs, pork and sausage until well blended. Press mixture evenly into an ungreased 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.

Bake for 12 minutes, until meat is firm and brown around edges. Cool in pan 10 minutes.

Holding meat with a large spatula, tip pan to drain off fat.

In small pan, heat jelly and chutney until melted; spread over surface of meat. Cut meat into 1-inch square.

Serve warm or refrigerate as long as 2 days; then reheat, uncovered, in a 400 degrees F. oven just until hot, about 8 minutes.
