Christmas / One-Hour Recipes / Sides

Maple pigs in blanket
Featuring Pure Maple Syrup
12 portions

Ingredients

  • 12 rashers of smoked streaky bacon
  • A few sprigs of fresh woody herbs, such as sage, thyme and rosemary
  • 12 chipolata sausages
  • 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (preferably golden colour for its delicate flavour)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4
  2. Working one at a time, lay the bacon out on a board and run a sharp side of your knife along the length of the rasher to stretch it out.
  3. Dot with a few herb leaves, then place a sausage at one end and roll the bacon around it until its totally wrapped up. Place in a roasting tray and repeat till they’re all done.
  4. Cook for 20 mins, or until golden and cooked through.
  5. Scrape the pigs in blankets from the bottom of the tray. Leaving them in there, add Worcestershire sauce and maple syrup and give it a good shake to mix.
  6. Heat on the hob and bring to the boil until caramelised. Serve immediately.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
