Best Christmas canape recipes

It’s the season for indulging, donning that red, green and white apron, and feeding the masses at home.

WATCH: Inside Out Sausage Rolls

Skip the frozen food aisle this year, and serve up some tasty morsels like homemade easy sausage rolls, crispy arancini balls  and more.

For anyone lacking a little inspiration this Christmas, here are BHG’s best canape recipes to serve up before the main meal.

1. Beef, fig and pistachio sausage pies

Put a twist on the classic sausage roll with dried figs and pistachios. Triangular in shape, these can be made ahead and defrosted on the day.

2. Crispy cheesy arancini

Hailing from Sicily and named ‘little oranges’ for their shape and colour, you’ll love making these deep-fried, bocconcini-stuffed rice balls. Crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside, they’re mouthwateringly good!​
