Serves: Allow 100-175g (4-6oz) raw meat per person for boneless joints.

Preheat oven to Gas 4-5, 180oC, 350oF.
Make the Stuffing: Slit the sausage skins and remove the sausage meat – discard the skins. Mix together sausage meat and plum slices. Cut the strings from the joint and open up flat on a board. Place the rosemary sprigs onto the meat and top with the stuffing, roll up the joint and secure with string in 3-4 places.

Dry the rind and score deeply with a sharp knife. Rub the joint with a little oil and sprinkle with salt.
