Fruit canapes on skewers- tiny desserts, weighing 60-80 g. Fruit canapes, cut in various shapes and skewered, can be sent into your mouth whole without biting off a piece. Skewers most often do not serve as a decoration, but make the process of eating more convenient, since you can take a portion with your hands by the skewer and not get your hands dirty. Fruit canapes are a festive treat that is most often served at buffets on the occasion of a holiday. According to etiquette, canapes at buffets are taken by hand.
Today we present you several options for fruit canapes on skewers, which will be convenient for your guests and will give the table a festive and elegant look.
To make this kind of canapes, you will need:
Peel the fruit first. Then cut the fruit into large enough pieces. We string the cut pieces on skewers in any order you like. We did it in the following combinations:
As you can see in the photo, tangerines will be the basis for this type of canapes, and the task of the rest of the fruits is to set off and emphasize the taste of tangerines, playing on subtle shades of aftertaste.
The best taste and appearance of canapes can be achieved by using fruits in the following combinations:
The main ingredient in this type of canapé is persimmon. The taste of the canapes is subtle, not sharp. Most of your guests will definitely become fans of this canapé.
We made fruit canapes on skewers based on persimmon in the following versions:
Variegated fruit canapes will be in place at any feast. They will make a romantic dinner more sophisticated, delight the kids at a children's party, and help them effortlessly impress colleagues with a spectacular mini-buffet. They are interesting, varied, and allow you to “be creative” from the heart with taste and form. In a word, not a single housewife will hurt to master a couple of recipes for making fruit snacks on skewers. Believe me, they will come in handy more than once.
It is not possible now to establish the exact time and place of birth of delicious baby sandwiches - and even more so to find out whose clever head guessed to string not only meat and cheese, but also fragrant fruits on a wooden skewer. According to linguistic scientists, the very word "canape" came to us from ancient Greece, where it sounded like "konops" and served to denote small insects - like a mosquito or a mosquito. The Egyptians, and after them the Romans, adopted the Greek term, modified it to "conopeum" and began to call it beds with a net from uninvited blood-sucking guests. Over time, the word traveler moved from Latin to European languages and firmly settled in French, for some unknown reason clinging not to a canopy bed, but to a miniature sofa with a curved back. So what is next…
And then there are solid secrets. Either the French remembered the original meaning of the term "canapes" and called the snack sandwiches "mosquitoes" for their small size. Either the chef with a particularly violent imagination saw in the pieces of delicious food, piled up in a pile, a resemblance to his favorite piece of furniture. Or perhaps the fact is that it was most convenient to absorb an unusual snack just on such sofas, slowly sipping wine from a glass and conducting a leisurely dialogue with your interlocutor.
Whatever the case may be, one thing is certain: the fun idea took root, gained popularity and spawned dozens of different, but invariably delicious culinary recipes. And there are at least five reasons for this:
Traditionally, it is customary to serve 3-4 types of canapés with different fillings. Moreover, it is advisable to calculate in advance the total number of snacks so that there are at least 8 miniature sandwiches for each guest. Considering that canapés are a “one bite” treat, they can fly off the dish in a few minutes, and no one should be left out.
The easiest way out is to take a knife and simply crumble the washed and peeled fruits into cubes or slices. Cheap and cheerful, but ineffective in terms of wasted time. And the beauty of the future "canapes" will suffer, since not everyone will be able to fit the pieces cut by hand to one size, and different-sized slices will greatly spoil the appearance of the snack.
If you have a special slicing spoon for watermelon and melon in your kitchen, use it. Perfectly even colored spheres on skewers always look impressive.
With the cookie cutters, you can turn fruit slices into shapes of any complexity.
If you are seriously keen on the topic of canapés and are going to regularly treat guests and households with sweet "kebabs", it does not hurt to purchase a special device for cutting berries and fruits into pieces. In the budget version, it will be replaced by a regular egg cutter.
For the most advanced cooks, a special canapé syringe will come to the rescue. Sequentially use it to cut pieces of fruit selected for a treat, push the plunger, and the finished treat will be on your plate. It remains only to fasten it with an elegant skewer. The syringe will just as easily cope with pieces of biscuit, marshmallow, marmalade and other goodies, if it occurs to you to add them to your creation.
Remember that fruits are perishable. They quickly give off juice, darken and lose their shape, so you need to cook the delicacy shortly before serving, sprinkling the pieces with lemon juice for better safety.
