In 1973 McCall’s recipe card collection would add yet another oddity to what they called, “The ContemporaryCooking” section calledJewel Fruit Tart.

It’s been a long time since I have posted on here, but I thought I would share a nice little simple to make Pigs in the Blanket recipe with y’all from the year 1971 by General Mills. What exactly are pigs in the Blanket? Here in the USA, the term “Pigs in a blanket” usuallyrefers to hot dogs wrapped in dough such as croissant rolls, or even Vienna sausages, co*cktail sausages, or link sausages wrapped in biscuit dough, pancake, or croissant dough, and oven baked.
