Giant Pig in Blanket
Milly Fyfe • 22 December 2023
So many people have been commenting on my social channels about the giant pig in blanket! It is super simple to make and will please all your guests on Christmas day. Or you can have as part of a smaller meal, serving as the main dish with some roast vegetables and all the trimmings.
Ingredients
- 1 pack of streaky bacon (British)
- 1 jar of cranberry sauce
- 1 pack of sausage meat or 6 sausages with the meat squeezed out of the skins
Additional items needed
- Rapeseed oil
- A baking tray
- Kitchen foil
Method
- Lay some foil onto a flat surface or tray and lightly oil
- Place your strips of streaky bacon out on top of the foil
- Spread an even layer of cranberry sauce over the bacon
- Spread your sausage meat along the bacon in one line. Start towards the edge of the longest part of your bacon so it will be easier to roll
- Start to roll your bacon over the sausage meat. Use the foil to help keep a rounded shape
- Once you have formed a large sausage shape, press down to gentle seal the bacon together
- Place the foil over the top of the pig in blanket so the bacon doesn't crisp up and burn
- Place your giant pig in blanket in the oven for 20 minutes
- After 20 minutes remove from oven and uncover the pig in blanket from the foil cover. Allow to crisp in the oven for another 10-15 minutes
- Serve and enjoy!
