These were delish!! Love apple and pork as a combo. Will def be making again and popping into lunchboxes. I added a little bit of feta to the mix too as I had some in the fridge that needed to be used. I just wish Careme Pastry wasn’t so expensive. I need to have a go at making my own puff pastry. Thx for another fab recipe Georgia.

A little side note. The tomato relish looks yummy. Is that homemade? It’s tomato season here.

Recipe looks delish. If I use puff pastry to make the sausage rolls, it would no longer be dairy free?
Georgia Harding says
I’m pretty sure there are DF puff-pastries available (unfortunately they are made with vegetable oil rather than butter). Otherwise the filling makes great patties or meatballs too G x
Suzanne Hart says

Mai says
Love this sausage roll, whole my family love it!
Just wondering what’s the best way to pack left over sausage roll for lunch box?
Is it better to reheat , cool down and put it in the lunchbox or it’s ok to put straight from fridge/freezer??
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mai, so glad you loved the recipe! You probably would be best to defrost the sausage roll from the freezer in the fridge overnight (if its been frozen) and pack cold (making sure you pack enough ice bricks in an insulated bag to suit your climate) 😊
Mai says
Hi Georgia,
Thanks for the response and suggestion:)
I will do that for next lunch box!
Thanks for the delicious recipe as always!

Hi Mai, so glad I could assist 🙂
