October 29, 2013
This quick and easy appetizer can double as a festive centerpiece for your holiday table.
Ingredients
• Cocktail sausages
• Refrigerated crescent dough rolls
• Red bell pepper
• Diced rosemary
• 1/3 cup butter
Directions
Step1: Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the package of refrigerated crescent dough rolls. Drain the liquid off of the mini sausages.
Step 2: Unroll the crescent dough and separate at the perforations to create 4 rectangles. Press together the remaining perforation in each rectangle. With a knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 8 strips making a total of 32 strips.
Step 3: Wrap one strip of dough around each mini sausage. Lay out the crescent-wrapped sausages with their sides touching on an ungreased cookie sheet in a circle forming a wreath shape.
Step 4: Bake for 11-15 minutes or until golden brown. Melt 1/3 cup of butter and brush the butter on top of the crescent-wrapped sausages. Sprinkle the rosemary on top of the butter.
Step 5: Cut a red bell pepper into a bow shape for garnish. Combine the BBQ sauce and cranberry sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until heated through. Serve with wreath for dipping.
