A little something savoury for Day 6 of our 12 Days – I’m thinking buffet table or simply scoffing them straight off the cooling rack! x
Makes 12.
Ingredients:
1 x qty Savoury Shortcrust Pastry recipe here
225g good quality sausagemeat
100g bacon
salt and pepper
200g fresh cranberries
4 tbsps cranberry jelly
Preheat the oven to 180c (fan)/200c/Gas Mark 5.
Grease the recesses of a 12 hole tartlet tin – I love the fluted tins, they make pastry cases look so pretty!
Roll out your shortcrust pastry on your worksurface, lightly floured.
Cut out 12 circles and for now just lay them over the top of the holes in the tray, letting them sit there whilst you work.
This gives them a chance to soften a little and they start to sag into the recesses of their own accord – if you jam them in straight off the pastry will often crack and pull out of the round shape you’re after.
Once they’re all cut out gently ease them down, pressing with your fingertips to line the recess. If they’re not playing ball and still not going in nicely put the tray into the oven for 30 seconds, out and then try again!
Pastry cases done, now on with the filling.
Dice the bacon and add it to a bowl along with the sausagemeat and a good dose of salt and pepper. Give it a good mix up.
Now divide the filling between the 12 pastry cases.
Cut some little circles of baking paper and place on top of the filling of each one. These little circles will stop the filling from drying out as they bake.
Now into the oven for 18 minutes.
Allow them to cool in the trays for five minutes before removing the paper circles and transferring to a wire rack. Careful as you transfer them though there may be hot liquid fat around the filling which you can easily burn your fingers on!
Into a pan put the cranberries and cranberry jelly, heat gently, stirring often until the cranberries soften (about 5 mins)
Spoon the cranberry mixture over the tops of the tarts.
And ta dah! They’re done!
Make them ahead of time and freeze until you need them x
Sausage and Bacon Cranberry Tarts
Ruth Clemens, Baker Extraordinaire

Ooh they look and sound scrummy. I think they will have to be added to my Christmas dinner 🙂
yum yum! another marvellous combination.
I don’t think these will last long enough on the cooling rack in my house. lol x
These look very festive x
I only have one word to describe them YUM.
xx Merry Christmas. xxx
Christmas day nibbles 🙂 nom! X
I love a wee savoury tart, somehow I manage to justify eating all the sweet treats if I homebake something nice and savoury. Crazy logic, but it works for me! 😉 x
Perfect for Christmas Eve nibbles with some mulled wine 🙂
Sound nice x
What a great idea.
V cute. x
Oh yum! Perfect for whipping out when visitors call round!
Love the idea of freezing them ahead.
Not a combination I would have thought of but it’s great to try new things, pretty sure my husband is going to love these x
Oh my word these recipes are cracking! Thanks Ruth x
wow they look lovely
These look great. Can you tell me where you got your baking tray with the fluted edges?
The ones I’m using were from Nordicware but I can’t find the same ones online anywhere – these on Amazon are very similar http://tiny.cc/3xvxow
Oh these would be great for my Christmas drinks party
Great tip about letting the pastry circles sit, I’ve always had problems when I’ve stuffed them in straight away. Thanks. X
Another great idea to try – thanks
Oouu Yum 🙂 x
Nice alternative to sausage rolls! Yum x
Sound lovely for Christmas tea time
Oooo look scrummy. May well make some for new year party 🙂 Is there anything else I can replace the cranberries with?I cook for a fussy man
Cooked apple chunks or apple sauce? Depends how fussy he is! x
Mmmm these look so yummy and I am betting they taste divine…
Can’t wait to try these out, look very tasty
loving these recipes thanks x
Oh yum!!!
These look delicious, I shall be adding them to my boxing day lunch menu.
must try these so far been to supermarket every day this week ,my hubby is beginning to think there’s something going on!!!!
oh heck!! x
They look yummy 🙂
They look beautiful and scrummy!
Lovely 🙂
Yum!! These will be appearing on my boxing day buffet table! 🙂
Good grief, those look amazing!
Delicious! xx
Mouth watering!
Tasty & fab looking
So much baking, so little time! Why does it all have to look amazing?!
These look delicious, ideal for Christmas I think.
They look lovely!
(I’m allergic to pork, but I’m sure my mum will make these for the ‘party’ on boxing day. Thank you.
Much prettier than sausages rolls on a buffet table, just like little jewels shining.
Will have to try them
Yummy
Yummy, love savoury tarts. Do you think this would work with brie as a veggie alternative? Not that I’m veggie I just love brie and cranberry!
Yes I’m sure it would – I’d blind bake the pastry cases first, then add the brie and cranberries x
great for parties
Oh, I’m going to make these. Tasty AND good for the bladder 🙂
These make such a change from the usual buffet food, lovely idea
Yum, look like jewels on top! Can’t wait to try these!
Ooh, might do these for a starter for Christmas dinner… Thank you.
Definitely for scoffing!
Those look delicious!
Great idea for nibbles on Christmas Eve or at New Year – with a glass of wine!
They look very pretty & festive.
OOh these are going to be on the appetiser menu for xmas!!
Cool might try these for our christmas party in a couple of weeks. Right, off to the shop to get the ingredients so I can try them out before then. Thanks
Love the idea of the whole cranberries!
As I’m addicted to cranberries in any form (my pregnancy craving was cranberry jelly and Nutella sandwiches!),these would be perfect.
They look great.
Just lovely. Perfect snacket to eat while opening pressies.
ooooh look gorgeous!
I love your little hints and tips in amongst the recipes.This looks very delicious.
Haha I’m a veggie – so I think I’ll stick to the sweet stuff! 😉 x
Another genius idea!! I am already making some mini quiches for over Xmas so will definitely have to add these, they look so gorgeous.
Ooh, yummy. I’m trying to justify these in my mind as Xmas day canapes, but I’m sure we’d just eat too many and ruin our appetite for the turkey!
Wow looks lovely! will be making those most definitely
These look so delicious! Ideal for canapés whilst opening presents.
Ooh, yum! I needed an idea for a “do” next week to which I have to take a plate of savouries. Thanks for the recipe.
These look wonderful, and so much easier to make than I thought.
Will save me a fortune in the supermarket, where the equivalent ‘deli’ item is SO expensive!
Great recipie
Yummy will definitely have to make a note of this recipe!
Oh yes, I know exactly when I’m making these for!
would love to try these
These look fabulous!! Thank you
These look delicious…and will be perfect appetisers on Christmas day with a glass of bubbly
Nice to see something a bit different – and so pretty!
WOW I’ve never seen this recipe before- i will definitely try it out!!!
As a fan of savoury over sweet, this is one of your creations I’ll be making for myself and not to give awaay as presents! *nom*
will substitute goats cheese for sausage as veggie option…
Yummy!
As far as my tastebuds are concerned eating meat and fruit in the same thing is like eating dinner and pudding off the same plate. I like my flavours separate. I’ll take the sausage and bacon in a bun and the cranberry tart for afters – cranberries are fabulous in Brownies too
Very nice x x
Tasty!
So pretty
Need a bigger oven and more time to bake everything!!
They look incredible! We’re all going to have amazing feasts this Christmas!
Lovely 🙂 x
yumm!!! Another fab recipe. Thanks Ruth!
Will definitely be making most of your recipes this christmas Ruth xx
These look great!
They look lovely. Perfect for xmas buffet.
Another must!
Great for the boxing day buffet
Getting hungry
Love meat with fruit combination.
They look fantastic – very Christmassy 🙂
This has made me very hungry!
Yummy!
Thank you for a lovely savoury recipe for my hubby. 🙂
They look delicious
Hmm might have to try these with vegetarian lincolnshire sausage & quorn meat free style bacon
Lovely idea will be making these xx
Intrigued….
Party nibbles!
these look SO festive!
I might use turkey mince aqs an alternative x
Wow these look amazing! These might well be in our Boxing Day buffet (if I can conquer gluten free pastry, and they last that long!). Can I ask where you got your fluted tartlet tray from, Ive not seen one before?
Definitely going to try making this, this weekend
wow they look great! I thought they were sweet tarts at first! x
They look too good to eat.
Look forward to trying these out and eating them!
Perfect for new year’s eve party!
Mmm – with salad for tea on Boxing Day? Yes please!
Drool! These look divine!
They look delicious
having a go at these lovelies for boxing day.
thanks ruth xx
Yum, looks tasty.x
These look lovely, really christmassy too
Definitely Christmassy looking!
yummy, these look delicious
look so pretty
Mmm I’m defo giving these little beauties a go!
Genius! 🙂 x
Wow. Perfect Christmas day nibbles.
These look delicious – and something a bit different from the usual susage rolls! I’ll give them a go!
*Adds to Boxing Day Buffet list *
Definitely a scoff off the cooling rack lol
These look lovely! What a great idea!
These look gooooood!
Ohhh new Christmas canope I think!
They look really Christmasy – perfect for my Christmas buffet! Thanks for another great recipe x
Another great recipie! X
Yum! Thank you
Mouthwateringly delicious
They look yummy!
Yum
Now these look fantastic will be a big hit with mr b – I think we’re the family that will eat them off the rack!!!
Mmmm this is a combination I would never have put together but they sound quite nice after reading the recipe. Another treat from the Pink Whisk – yum! x
I l-o-v-e the glass stand and heart shaped board!!!!!
These are a great idea. They look delicious
These look amazing x
Straight from the cooling ack sounds good to me !
Anything with bacon goes down well here 🙂
Might make a tray of these on saturday, what do you think the cranberries would be like with a brie filling for vegies?
I think they’d be superb! Would probably blind bake the pastry cases before adding the brie though and then just warm through with the brie and cranberries added (that’s if you wanted to serve them warm ) x
They look gorgeous
Oh, they look wonderful. Do you think it would be acceptable to use cranberry jelly on its own without the fresh cranberries? I’m going to give it a go
I don’t see why not! xx
I’m not wild about cranberries either, nor do I fancy the apple, but I was thinking a small teaspoon of Branston (or similar) and a cooked star of puff pastry or thinly rolled out cheese straw mix, with extra egg wash to make nice and shiny.
My word! They look divine! How you make something look so fabulously “Premium Range” but easy at the same time is amazing! Xx
Oooh they look lovely – any excuse to have more cranberries at christmas sounds good to me!
they look stunning, will do them for boxing day nibbles
looks great
My son would love these
Ooh, I don’t have a great history with cranberries (ruined many a nice muffin!) but I will certainly try it with the apple combo!
ooooh yum these look amazing..yet another fab recipe to put my diet on hold for – well it is almost christmas lol
What an unusual idea! Nice to have savoury things to bake as well as sweet!
Pastry. Bacon. Sausage. Cranberry.
Four words. One little tart = HUGE craving these sound so good.
Interesting combination for sure..
Very tasty!
Noms!
these look delicious…thanks for the ideas
They look super delicious! Another mini treat to add to my list to try over Christmas.
nom,nom,nom,nom 🙂 xx
Definitely making these, they look so delicious and much easier than sausage rolls!
Look delicious. This twelve ‘days of Christmas comp is baffling me’. Unsure of where I have posted comments. Do know that I made your fudge last year and will be making it again this time. It was lovely.
Wow – I’ve been busy creating unusual ingredient pairing recipes for the festive season but never thought of this. Delicious!
They look lovely – nice change from pigs in blankets!
They are so pretty. My mouth is watering
They look yummy!
These look delicious and certainly a bit different
Spent hours this morning scanning various supermarket aisles for inspiration and being horrified at the prices and ingredients added – these are exactly what I want – you’re a genius!
Oooh these look fabulous!
They sound fantastic.
These are a definite for my Christmas buffet table. They are bound to be a big hit with all the family.
They look scrupmtious
Ummmm, as I could sole shoes with my pastry I will just admire these
Hubby heaven – all of his fave things in one!
They do indeed look completely delicious!!
More savoury recipes please! These look great.
These look fabulous! I agree with a comment above- perfect for Christmas Eve 🙂 x
These are making me SUPER hungry!!
At last a savoury Christmas nibble that doesn’t involve mincemeat! Thank you.
I cannot get enough fresh cranberries. I just love them. Thanks for another great way to use them!
They do look lovely xxx
beautiful! And so original. Perfect for parties.
They look really tasty and absolutely beautiful!! 🙂
What a good idea!
Mmmmmm…tasty
OOH so festive definately one for the buffet table
these look really pretty for a savoury nibble, will have to give them a go!
I think my boyfriend would enjoy these on Christmas eve!
they look so pretty! we’ve got friends staying over this weekend for festive cheer, I think I’ll whip some of these up, they’ll be a big hit for sure!
Cranberry and bacon? Strange combination but interesting to see how they taste. Thanks for the comp.
They look lush!!!
Something else to add to my shopping list! I don’t know how I am going to find the time to make all these treats! Ruth, stop spoiling us ! (ps I don’t really mean it)x
Can’t wait to give these a try – they look wonderful!
Ooo they look very christmassy 🙂
Super, how am I going to find the time to make all of these lovely things ?!?
Those look delish! Ruth, how do you come up with all these idea’s?
Now that is something different, sounds lovely.
Yummy!
The fluted tin is amazing! I have to get one.
What diameter cutter do you use, Ruth? I always feel like mine is too small.
Oh also, I’ve been asked (begged) to make these on Xmas day. I want to make them in advance, do you freeze them with the cranberry topping? Do you warm them after they’ve been defrosted? Thank you xx
Yes, freeze them with the cranberries on the top, defrost fully then heat in a hot oven 180c (fan) for 15 mins if you want to serve them warm x
I’ll check and measure for you x
Mmm they look rather yummy!
I’d eat them straight off the rack 🙂
Sausage, bacon and cranberry. Sounds a interesting combination!
So pretty and delicious looking
They look yummy!!!!
Om nom nom nom nom!
My veggie self is going ‘bleurgh’ but my carnivorous family will love these!
Can’t see them lasting long enough to go in the freezer in our house!
these look yum 🙂
Sound yummy, kind of sweet & sour!
These tartletts look delicious & so colourful!!Thanks for a lovely idea!!!
Yum yum yum!
Very Christmassy pies, must try these 🙂 Thanks
Wow these sound interesting.
My first order from the pink whisk shoppee has just arrive woooo hoooo away to make the day 1 elves although these tarts look lovely too x
Really loving the Xmas countdown, these look flabby. Really love the website and carrot cake is my all time fave. Keep up the good work. x
This is the best hamper ever!!!!
Very nice
these look lovely a nice lighter change from a growler (pork pie)
Yummy!
Something different to make with cranberries other than the sauce itself, thanks
They look scrumptious!
Perfect boxing day treat!!!
Can’t wait to try these out on my elderly realtives.
Another wonderful idea – thank you.
these are destined for the Boxing day buffet!
I love sausage meat – looking forward to trying this recipe out
They look really yummy.
Yum yum!
These look truly delicious! I will be baking these for my Christmas Eve party
Ooh they look nice
Mmmm
oh they look scrumptious 🙂
Never had sausage and bacon with cranberry. Great top about the pastry also.
i think i may have to try these.
Great idea,it’s so nice to have some different ideas for christmas parties!
Looks good 🙂
They sound good. Might have to try at some point.
Another lovely savoury food for my christmas eve buffet to sit next to the pork and apple sausage rolls which you shared with us last year.
They are very festive!
Very pretty savouries!
These look really tasty!!
these look absolutely delicious, I am finding catering for veggies more of a challange
Vibrant reds on a savoury tart. Just don’t get them mixed up with dessert.
Om nom nom nom!
looks soooooooooooooo yummy
Loving the look of those!!
I may make these for New Year’s Eve.
I say scoff from the cooling rack too
yum yum
How Yummyish
Very Christmassy
These are interesting.
I am going to follow your recommendation by making these ahead and freeze them until needed.
Would you reheat them from frozen or defrost first? How long for and oven temperature?
I guess I like to be careful reheating meat products since my poor dad years ago got food poisoning from not re-heating a sausage roll properly!!
Or should I just let them defrost and eat cold, like a pork pie? Twenty questions, Ruth :0) xxx
Hi Jen, I’d defrost them fully first and then they’d need 15 minutes in the oven at 180c (fan) or of course they could be eaten cold! xx
they look yummy
Wow not a combo I would have put together, but they sound amazing!!! Definatly going to try them, love all those ingredients, thanks Ruth!!
Very tasty they look. Will try them for Christmas nibbles
I have a great tart tin with 24 mini wells so might do these as little canapes! Fab x
Fantastic idea…..beautiful colour for the festive table
These look and sound delicious! *tummy rumbles*
these sound really scrummy!
….and now for something completely different! look fantasfic and great to have in freezer. thank youx
Loving the cranberries on top, I have them with all things savoury! X
You’ve just solved my issue of what to make/bring as “nibbles” to the WI Christmas party on Monday thanks.
How beautiful do these look?! Very eye catching and tempting! x
They look so festive. They wouldn’t last long on the buffet table.
Never would have thought of sausage meat and cranberry; but why not!?
Ideal to eat on boxing day when all of the family come round
They look yummy Ruth x
These look good! I have been looking for a tartlet or patty tin for a while. Can’t see one on TPW shop, do you know if you will sell one eventually? Xx
We’re trying to source one for the shop asap but in the meantime – these on Amazon are very similar http://tiny.cc/3xvxow Xx
These look so tasty, nice one Ruth x
they look delicious
These look great. Will be good for a buffet along with your cheese and tomato chutney tarts. Can you freeze them too?
Your pastry cases look fab!
Sound delicious, will be trying them myself
Sounds delicious, will be trying them myself
a nice Christmassy nibble 🙂
I’m sure my partner would love these, but I’m not keen on cranberries. very chrismasy tho.
My other half would love these!
These look really nice a fab alternative to the sausage rolls we usually make at Christmas.
Going to make mini ones as canapes!
Santa Claus will be getting a nice treat with these!
Aw, how fabulous, and super convenient from the freezer!!
Another winning Christmas recipe. Yum!
I like the idea of something savoury to bake. Everyone in the family but me is a savoury junkie. This should keep them happy.
Now i know what to do with the cranberries that have arrived in my veggie box yum
i wouldn’t have thought of this combination, but will try it now
Look amazing. Great addition to Xmas eve buffet table.
Thank you Ruth x
Ooooh, they’d be great for fun party food
They look great 🙂
There look great
Can’t wait to bake (and of course eat) these at my Boxing Day Buffet! They look delicious! Xxx
Sounds like a very tasty recipe and a simply beautiful cake stand in the hamper today,
Gorgeous!!!
These look really nice.
Wow the cranberries are like little jewels
These look delicious
Now these look like a fab Christmas supper alternative to sausage rolls. My family are already joking about what ‘weird’ recipes I will find for Christmas Day and while these are NOT weird, they are different enough to be on my baking list!
Certainly look delicious!
Great idea. Sadly I’m vegetarian so I can’t eat them but they’d be a great party table addition.
These look delicious. I will have to use frozen cranberries that I stock up with each christmas as we don’t get fresh cranberries here, probably the reason my cranberry shrub has never given forth any fruit!
The red berries look so Christmassy. My mouth is watering at the thought.
These tarts look scrummy and not a combination I would have thought to do – so am looking forward to giving them a try!!!
very festive. Might give them a try 🙂
Nice, another to try
Yummy!! Xx
Look delicious
I will make these to freeze at the weekend,innovative recipe for a buffet, thank you.
Good idea
Thank you for the top tips on how to get the pastry neatly into the tins. Another tempting recipe too.
Great idea!
Ooooh, this is interesting!! They look more like sweet cakes. Very nice indeed x
I’m gonna give them a try but pastry always goes horribly wrong for me! X
Thse look fab, as do the latest prizes! I’ve just made honeycomb from your recipe for ice cream by the way and it’s the first time I’ve made honeycomb that hasn’t tasted burnt, thank you!
These look very tasty and something different to do with cranberries.
They’ll never make it to the freezer – def scoff straight from the cooling rack, if allowed to cool!!
sadly I have an allergy with cranberries. but loving the recipe all the same. thanks for posting. Lynetta
Brilliant party food and the recipe doesn’t look too complicated either! I’m currently building up my bakeware collection, so tempted to add a fluted tart tin to it now!
Fab – think I’ll test these out this weekend!
These look so yummy. Wonder if you also have a recipe for cranberry chutney? Will do a search to see.
Yum, these look delicious and very different!
Something for my hubby, he doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth
I love the way the cranberries look like jewels on the top. Very festive.
I love the way the cranberries look like jewels. Very festive!
Wonderful idea once again Ruth !
Will make great canapés. Great combination.
now these look just the ticket for a christmas buffet
Another original recipe, yummmm
That could become a favourite snack in my house 🙂
These look so yummy. I have been wanting a savoury dish to make for my christmas get together with the girls next week… and I have some cranberries in the fridge too!! OOh I think this has to be the one!!
Scrummy, what a great idea, just think Ruth how many Xmas get togethers these will be featuring at now, we’ll all be making them!!! Thanks for the recipe x
they look tasty
This is a bit like the Two Ronnies Mastermind sketch where they answer the question before last. Was so excited about the hamper yesterday that I couldn’t comment about the beautiful cookie kit jars – I am DEFINITELY making those and giving them as presents – thank you so much for such a delightful idea and for such professional execution. I hope I can live up to it.
These look really nice!!!!
Fluted baking tins? Where can I get one?
And then fluted baking tins made even more awesome by baking sausage, bacon and cranberry tarts – yum!
The ones I’m using were from Nordicware but I can’t find the same ones online anywhere – these on Amazon are very similar http://tiny.cc/3xvxow Xx
Yummy!
interesting…
Ruth these look so delicious! I have to make them for my Christmas Eve Eve party though I’m not sure they will still be around when the guests arrive!
yum yum !!!!
My husband hates cranberries so more for me! Result!!
ooh they look lovely but I’m a vegetarian so I might have to think of something else to put in the bottom xx
These would be lovely to leave out for santa instead of cookies for a change.
they look so christmassy
Nice idea!
Definately be making these for the Christmas ‘buffet’ at work – everyone else brings in sweet cakes so these will be a lovely surprise for everyone.
Ooo, these look good! They’d go down nicely as boxing day snacks.
These look scrummy, will definitely have a go at these =P~
Looks yummy…another recipe to try=}
Just love cranberries yum
Very festive!
Hmmmm…..not sure about these….
Okay this looks good…
Just LOVE the look of these! I’ll print off the recipe and use at my MIL’s over Christmas. Fabulous idea, again, Ruth!
A perfect Christmas mini bite!
They look gorgeous!! Thank you Ruth x
Not a big fan of the old fruit/savoury combo but they do look good. Might try them with a spicy tomato relish 🙂
Sounds yum Julie x
These look even tastier than the sweet treats 😉 x
Wow – these look amazing…definitely going to try these!!
They look great; might try nut roast ingredients instead of the sausage and bacon for a veggie version.
Not the best thing to be looking at at the end of a fast day – sooooooo hungry and now have a watering mouth to add to it.
Loving these Christmas posts – I am vegetarian, but I’m sure I could do something to vege-fy these – perhaps some sort of mushroom filling, with dried porcini? Scrummy!
Definitely! Some others suggested a brie filling too x
A lovely idea for a savoury festive pie, definately on the menu for Christmas Eve or Boxing Day
Funny never saw the cranberry thing (apart from a condiment with turkey) as savoury
A delicious savoury twist on a festive favourite.
You’re making me hungry!!
Definitely one to try. Just look soooo delicious
Ooh small bitesize tarts are one of the best things about Christmas… because you can munch away and not feel too guilty 😉
I’m not sure they would ever get as far as the freezer. They look delish.
We have our annual ‘Doggie Walkers’ Do’ coming up, these would be great as my food contribution. Will make some without the cranberries for the dogs as well.
Just what christmas has been waiting for
nice nibbles for a party 🙂
These look absolutely fabulous and would make great canapes – will bookmark these for next time I am entertaining
Wonder if these will beat last years pork pie with cranberry jelly… They were A-mazing! And v popular when I took them into work, I even made a large 6inch one for a party.
I would never convince my lot to eat sausages and cranberries together
These look lovely for Christmas eve. But can the cranberrys be replaced with another fruit as hubby a fussy eater? X
Yes go with any fruit topping of your choice! Apple would be good… x
Hi Ruth, would these work with your tomato chutney instead of cranberries??
Little mouthfuls of perfection! x
These look beautiful and I’m sure taste even more beautiful. I love cranberries and definitely a change from the humble sausage roll having the sausage meat in a tart instead!
I am a firm believer that bacon makes most things taste better. Love the idea of this flavour combination!
Ooh these look really pretty & so great they can be made ahead of time. Thanks for aother fab idea Ruth!
I think these look amazing for Christmas Day Tea. I wonder if I can do them on the 23rd?
Happy xmas!
Fantastic I will be (Scoffing) making lots of these for (me) my visitors over the Christmas Holidays.
Great alternative to stuffing balls!
Very yummy cant wait to try these x
These look fab
Perfect for an evening of xmas entertainment!
These would not get to the plate off the cooling rack. They look so pretty.
Yum :):):):):):)
Ideal for a festive buffet. Love cranberrys deff going to try this.
I could just eat one of these right now 🙂
Cranberries Ok cooked Never seen the point of them as a sauce
these look delicious
Inspiring recipe, as always xx
that’s an unusual flavour combo, but ready to try them
getting better and better.
I’m going to try these with caramelised onion instead of cranberry for Xmas eve pickins x
These look good
Savoury bits for xmas – delicious!
Definitely be doing these
These look really festive!
These look delicious!
These look really yummy! It’s a shame my Grandma doesn’t eat cranberries! She loves little nib early food!
Amy x
These must count towards at least one of your 5 a day!
Ruth, these look amazing and even better, they can be frozen…..awesome for Christmas tea.
these sound great will try these at xmas
It must be party time!
These are the next on my list as soon as nanny takes my son for a few hours so i can bake without him wrapped around my legs. ha ha . X
Mmmmmm these look delicious, we have a local butcher who sells amazing sausagemeat so can’t wait to give these a try 🙂
These sound delicious
yet another neat tip! i never thought of covering them with parchment to prevent drying out. i needed a receipe for my cranberry jelly as my daughter opened it some months ago trying to put it on toast! (she’s 19- no common sense) and i think i’d better cook with it – its safer!
unusual…good talking point
Oh my goodness, my Wiganer fiance would love these posh little pastries x
Savoury isn’t normally my thing but these look delicious x
Wow! Great use of christmas ingredients, great size aswell
Love these.. Although mine didnt make the freezer… oops
Very nice… although mine didnt make the freezer!!!! oops
at last, some savoury scrumptiousness…
Oh yum! What a delicious combo!
Mmm they sound good!
Will you be doing diet tips in the new year??
Love the tip about the greaseproof to keep them moist. I always love the look of the cranberry topped pork pies at Christmas, but never keen on cold pork pie centre – these will do just the job ! Like the idea of them for Christmas canapes
Great recipie
yummy
These look too good to eat! x x
What a fantastic idea – I love anything with Cranberry! x
Stunning! Just the thing for my boxing day buffet 🙂
yet another great addition to your christmas recipes. thanks.
Yum, Yum, Yum x
Yummy stuff
These will be a great change to boring sausage rolls!
Not something I would usually try but think hubby would love them! x
These are very exciting and look beautiful – you have such great ideas!
They look so pretty, they would be great for a party. Would veggie bacon work?
I’m sure it would x
These tarts are great. If course I’ll have to do a batch without the cranberries for the kids but reckon the whole family will like these, except my vegetarian sister in law!!!
Love these…going to make for our office party…..Thanks!
Mmm these look lovely
A must for Christmas day (and a few extra for Boxing Day!)
and maybe the day after too!
Look so nice – I worry I’d eat far too many!
Ooh being able to freeze these sounds like a great idea!
This recipe i will definitely be using
Looks delicious!
These look fab, i bet they would be good topped with caramelized onions too.
Ideal for the Christmas buffet.
Sausage, Cranberry & bacon wrapped up in one little tart. Yup I’m convinced 😀
Fantastic Ruth – so many ideas! x
Look so good, and bet they taste delicious! x
Beautiful and festive. x
would never have been brave enough for this!!
Definitely going to make these for Christmas
Over weekend used your nutella recipe to great raves from the family – thanks
Scummy! Anything with pastry is a winner with me! x
These look stylish and scrummy. I would definitely be impressed if these were served at a Xmas party.
A little savory gem of a recipe, thank you Ruth.xx
What a delicious looking treat for Christmas Night when watching TV or playing Wii games!
Love these!
We always have leftover cranberries from the sauce! What a genius idea.
Another different combination I would never have thought of.
Delicious x
might tempt my boys to try berries
glassware envy
Such a clever idea. Mmmmm, I’m hungry again!
These sound yummy
These look very festive.
Yum! These are going on my list to make for Boxing Day!
