Festive sausage rolls are the ultimate Christmas party finger food; they are savoury, tasty and perfect hot or cold.
This recipe offers a couple of twists to ramp up the festive feel, and according to Jamie Oliver, they were the ‘best sausage rolls’ he’s ever tasted!
Created by our friends over at Fat Mow Cooking, they include two new ingredients; cranberry and chestnuts to offer a delicious mix of sweet and savoury.
