A Christmas Dinner Essential

There are some things you simply expect to see on the Christmas dinner table – and Pigs in Blankets are definitely one of them.

Ours are handmade at Cooper’s, using our Traditional Pork Chipolatas individually wrapped in Smoked Streaky Bacon.

As they roast, the bacon becomes beautifully golden while keeping the chipolatas underneath juicy and full of flavour.

Serve them alongside your turkey and all the trimmings – although we’d suggest making sure everyone gets theirs before somebody goes back for seconds.

Cooking Suggestion

Remove all packaging before cooking.

Place the Pigs in Blankets on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven until the bacon is golden and the sausages are thoroughly cooked throughout.

Turn during cooking if required to help them brown evenly.

Ensure the centre reaches at least 75°C before serving.

Cooking appliances vary, so use a food thermometer rather than relying solely on cooking time.

Cooper’s Tip

For lovely crisp bacon, give the Pigs in Blankets a little space on the tray rather than packing them tightly together.

And if you’re cooking them alongside Christmas dinner, they’re ideal for going into the oven while your roast is resting.

Serving Suggestion

Obviously they’re made for Christmas dinner – alongside turkey, roast potatoes, stuffing and plenty of gravy.

But don’t overlook the leftovers. They’re brilliant in a Boxing Day sandwich, chopped through leftover roast potatoes or simply reheated and served with a dipping sauce.

Storage & Freezing

Keep refrigerated and consume by the use-by date shown on the packaging.

Suitable for home freezing. Freeze on or before the use-by date and defrost thoroughly in the refrigerator before cooking.

Once defrosted, cook within 24 hours and do not refreeze.

Food Safety

This product contains raw pork and must be thoroughly cooked before eating.

Keep raw meat separate from cooked and ready-to-eat foods. Wash hands, utensils and surfaces thoroughly after handling.
