- Line up your bacon rashers and the puff pastry strips and make sure they’re about the same length.

- Lay the puff pastry strip flat, and then lay the bacon strip over it in a narrow X shape.
- Brush the cranberry mixture over both strips, then lay the cocktail sausage over the pastry and bacon strips and roll it up, starting from one end of the cocktail sausage and finishing at the other (see images and recipe video for clearer instructions).10 vegan cocktail sausages

Notes
If you’re planning on making your vegan pigs in blankets as a part of a much bigger meal (for example, for your Christmas dinner), I completely understand not wanting to be rolling up cocktail sausages when you have a million other side dishes to prepare!
You can make your pigs in blankets ahead of time (they should last up to 2 days uncooked in the fridge once prepared) and simply wait to cook them when you’re ready.
Once cooked, these pigs in blankets are best served immediately. However, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-5 days and either enjoy hot or cold.
