Notes

1. Cooking In An Aga - To cook the pigs in blankets in an Aga, place them on the bottom set of runners in the roasting oven.
2. Bacon -  You can use either smoked or unsmoked bacon for this recipe.
3. Sausages - Make sure to use chipolata sausages for this recipe!
4. Honey & Mustard - If you'd prefer not to glaze your pigs in blankets, cook them for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through & the bacon is crispy.
5. Reheating - Pigs in blankets are best served straight away but can be cooked & stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil & cook at 180°c/356°f until hot.
