Ingredients

• Mini sausages
• Refrigerated crescent dough rolls
• Red bell pepper
• Diced rosemary
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce

Preparation

• Preheat oven to temperature specified on package of refrigerated crescent dough rolls
• Unroll 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.
• 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 wreathe shape)
• 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
• Cut a red bell pepper into a bow shape for a garnish. Combine the BBQ sauce and cranberry sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until heated through. Serve with wreathe for dipping
