Bloody Mary sausage rolls recipe

Bloody Mary sausage rolls take homemade sausage rolls to the next level with Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and celery salt. 

They come with their own dip, which you can make as spicy as you like, and it has the classic flavours of a Bloody Mary - one of our favourite summer cocktails. These are the perfect buffet food, or a delicious addition to a picnic. Sausage rolls are always popular as part of a summer spread, and homemade ones are so much more delicious than the ones you can buy in shops, with a lighter, meatier texture. This recipe makes about a dozen good-size sausage rolls, and plenty of dip to go alongside.
