Home made Sausage Rolls with Port and Fennel

Low FODMAP, GF

Servings : 20

This is an all year-round favourite in our house.  A perfect pairing with our home-made Tomato Sauce and Spicy Tomato Sauce.

Fennel seeds can add an extra burst of flavour, but definitely not a necessity if not your thing!

 Plus, you can make sausage rolls in advance and freeze until you want to use them.  Perfect for preparation in advance.
