Always the first thing to disappear from the Christmas table, pigs in blankets are truly great if you make them yourself. These citrus-glazed piggies are worth far more than the 10 minutes it takes to prepare them.
Feeling a bit extra? Why not have a go at making homemade marmalade, too?

Before you start
Chipolatas are ideal for pigs in blankets – thin enough to cook quickly but big enough to stay juicy and bouncy. Marmalade works beautifully here, providing a sweet, sticky glaze, a festive citrus flavour, plus a bitter note to balance everything.
As there are only three ingredients going into these pigs in blankets, buying good-quality chipolatas, bacon and marmalade makes all the difference.
You can wrap the sausages in bacon and keep them covered in their roasting tray in the fridge for up to 3 days, meaning all you have to do on Christmas Day is put them in the oven.
