1 tbsp date nectar
1 tbsp English mustard
18 British gourmet pork cocktail sausages, separated
9 slice/s Waitrose Cooks’ Ingredients Italian Sliced Pancetta, halved

Preheat the oven to 200 ̊C (180 ̊C fan), gas mark 6. Mix the date nectar, mustard and seasoning in a large bowl. Toss the sausages in the bowl to coat in the mixture.
Cut each slice of pancetta in half, then wrap each sausage in a piece of pancetta. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden and sticky.

Cook’s tip

Try swapping the pancetta for streaky bacon.

These pigs in blankets can be served as a canape, simply pop them on a platter with a cocktail stick.

On episode 14, season 6 of Dish, the Waitrose podcast, Angela pairs this recipe with No.1 Piccini Chianti Classico Riserva. It’s aged for at least two years, producing delicate scents of rose petal and sweet spice and flavours of plum, cherry and dried rosemary.
