How to make your Christmas Sausage Roll Wreath Garland 

It really is quite easy – here’s a step by step (recipe card at the bottom of the post 

Step 1- construct your Sausage Rolls to make your Wreath 

Grab your chilled puff pastry and unroll

Cut lengthways into 2 

Add one tablespoon cranberry sauce to each oblong and spread out with a teaspoon 

Remove the skin from your sausages  and place 3 sausages end to end down the pastry 

 

 

 

Step 2 – roll & seal your Sausage Rolls 

Using a pastry brush use egg on one side of each roll and roll the pastry over the sausages 

seal the edge with a fork by making small indents 

 

 

 

Step 3 – make your Sausage Wreath 

Grab a large baking sheet and line with baking paper / greaseproof paper and place your 2 large sausage rolls on the paper making a circle 

Try and best as you can to seal the joins together – don’t worry too much of a perfect join – just do your best 

 

Step 4 – cut your Wreath and glaze 

Using a knife half cut into 10-14 pieces – do not cut all the way through, just half 

Then slightly pull apart so you can see the slits – as below 

Take a little time and shape to the best circle you can 

Glaze with beaten egg 

 

 

Step 5 – Bake your Festive Sausage Wreath 

Bake as per recipe card instructions, transfer very carefully to a plate or a chopping board and  decorate as you wish 

Ta-dah!! 

I think it’s better saved warm fresh from the oven 

 

What sausages should I use for my festive wreath 

Well I use very good quality sausages: 

here I used caramelised onion ones.

However pork & leek, Pork and Apple are also yummy.

Just pick your favourites 

(Always remove the skins! )

 

To serve your Easy Sausage Wreath

Well why not warm straight from the oven with a mulled wine?  Always best…

Why not pop a baked camembert in the middle – yum!! 

 

Leftover Sausage Roll Wreath

What is this?? Ha ha 

Even though I’m sure it will last that long to be honest – but it’s also great cold then next day 

Simply left it cool and pop it in an airtight container in the fridge – it will be good for 2 days 

 

Can you freeze your Festive Sausage Wreath? 

Simply put – yes and my advice – make two! 

Make it up as above then freeze it UNBAKED

I would then defrost on the morning you need it, egg wash and bake 

You can really get ahead (always great at Christmas) and then tuck into delicious warn pastry and sausage-meat – so good
