Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, whisk together ginger conserve, wholegrain mustard, garlic oil, and soy sauce until well combined.

Add the sausages to the mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Arrange the coated sausages in a single layer on a large, shallow baking sheet lined with foil or use two smaller foil trays.

Bake for 30 minutes if using a shallow tray, or 45 minutes if using a high-sided tin, until the sausages are cooked through and browned.

If serving in a bread bowl, cut a circle around the top of a sourdough or rye loaf to create a lid.

Remove the bread lid and set aside.

Hollow out the inside of the loaf, leaving the crust intact to form a bowl.

Fill the bread bowl with the baked sausages.

Replace the bread lid at a jaunty angle for presentation.

Serve immediately with cocktail sticks.
