Want something even fancier? These stuffed pigs in blankets are made with pancetta and homemade sausage stuffing.
Ingredients
- 8 rashers streaky bacon
- 16 small fresh rosemary sprigs
- 16 chipolatas
- 2 tbsp honey
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/ gas 6. Using the back of a knife, stretch the bacon rashers until double their length, then cut in half. Place a rosemary sprig on each chipolata and wrap with half a rasher of bacon.
- Place in a roasting tin and cook for 10 minutes, then drizzle with the honey and turn to coat. Cook for a further 10 minutes until sticky and golden brown.
