Product description
Pigs in Blankets: Not Just for Christmas!
Pigs in blankets are a hands-down festive classic that need no introduction. They’re an absolute must-have on any Christmas dinner plate, especially alongside a whole bronze turkey. But why limit their deliciousness to December? These little delights are just as perfect served with a roast whole chicken, as part of a Sunday lunch, or as a crowd-pleaser at children’s parties. They even make a great addition to a breakfast spread or festive brunch.
What makes ours truly special is the quality of the ingredients: outdoor-reared, heritage breed pork from the Yorkshire Dales. Each simply seasoned pork sausage is wrapped in rashers of dry-cured, smoked streaky bacon, delivering unbeatable flavour and texture.
For best results, don’t be afraid to leave them in the oven a little longer – extra-crispy bacon complements the juicy sausage meat beautifully. If oven space is tight, pan-fry them over medium heat for 10–15 minutes to achieve the same crispy bacon and perfectly cooked sausage. For a festive twist, try adding a splash of maple syrup during the final minutes of cooking to create a sweet, sticky glaze. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle them with a little brown sugar and a pinch of chilli flakes for a sweet and spicy variation.
For the ultimate pairing, serve them alongside a bread sauce easy recipe. The creamy, spiced bread sauce balances the smoky bacon and savoury sausage, making an irresistible pigs in blankets pairing that will steal the show on your dinner table.
Pigs in blankets aren’t just food - they’re tradition, comfort, and a guaranteed hit on any table. Whether it’s Christmas, Easter, or simply a midweek roast, these flavour-packed bites bring a touch of indulgence to any occasion.
