Sausage roll week: Jamaican Jerk Pork rolls
The recipe merges food from my childhood, the humble sausage roll (my favourite ones being from Greggs bakery chain) and a traditional Jamaican ingredient: Jerk seasoning. Jerk pork is delicious and I thought the seasoning would go nice with pork sausage meat equally. Try the recipe and let me know how it goes. Plus the jerk pork flavour intensifies as the days go by if they last that long!!
