  1. First wash and dry the partridges inside and out, set aside. For the festive stuffing: Heat the knob of butter in a frying pan and sweat the shallots until translucent. In a bowl place the breadcrumbs, sausage meat, chestnuts, sage leaves, apricots and lemon zest. Combine together. Stir in the cooked buttery onions. Add a little seasoning as you wish. Allow the stuffing to cool completely and stuff the partridges with the stuffing. Place the stuffed partridges onto a roasting tin. Smear them all over with butter and cover each bird with a couple of rashers of streaky bacon - we are doing everything we can to keep the birds moist. Roast in a moderate preheated oven at 180ºC for 45 mins. Leave to rest for 10 mins before serving. Serve with some buttered carrots on the side.
