Preheat the oven 210°C / 190°C fan/ gas mark 7.

Line 4 Le Creuset Petite Casseroles lined with parchment paper or greased with butter. Roll out the pastry into a 40cm x 40cm square. Cut out 4 discs of 16cm in diameter ( you can use the lid of a saucepan or plate to cut around). Cut out 4 lids using the lid of the Petite Casserole.

Line each casserole with the larger pieces of pastry pressing carefully into the base and side and work the pastry up the sides so there is a slight overhang. Mix the pork, sage, and chutney, and season with pepper.

Take half of the pork mixture and divide it between the 4 casseroles pressing down into the pastry case. Place a layer of apricots on top of the pork mixture. Divide the remaining pork mixture between the casseroles and brush the edges of the pastry with egg glaze.

Place a lid on top of each pie and seal and crimp the edges. Brush with egg glaze. From the remaining pastry, cut 4 crowns or 16 strips of pastry to make the stripes of the Union Jack Flag. Place the chosen decoration on the top and brush again with egg glaze.

Place the pies in the oven and bake until a deep golden brown and the pastry is crisp - about 40–45 minutes. Serve warm in the casserole or leave until nearly cold and remove from the casserole. Wrap with parchment, tie with string and a bay leaf to take to the party.
