Fruit canapes are the highlight of the festive table
Install for sure exact time and the place where delicious baby sandwiches were born - and even more so to find out whose smart head guessed to string not only meat and cheese on a wooden skewer, but also fragrant fruits- is not possible now. According to linguists, the word “canapé” itself came to us from ancient Greece, where it sounded like “konops” and served to designate small insects - like a mosquito or mosquito. The Egyptians, followed by 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 no longer clinging to a canopy bed, but to a miniature sofa with a curved back. So what is next…
And then there are continuous secrets. Either the French remembered the original meaning of the term “canapé” and called the snack sandwiches “mosquitoes” for their small size. Perhaps the cook, with a particularly wild imagination, saw in the pieces of appetizing food piled up a resemblance to a favorite piece of furniture. Or maybe it's a matter of absorbing unusual snack It was most comfortable just on such sofas, leisurely sipping wine from a glass and conducting a leisurely dialogue with your interlocutor.
It’s still better to remove the pits from cherries when preparing canapés.
Whatever the situation, one thing is certain: the fun idea took root, gained popularity and gave rise to dozens of different, but invariably tasty culinary recipes. And there are at least five reasons for this:
- Fruit canapés are tasty, juicy and aromatic.
- If you don’t set out to create some absolutely incredible composition from a dozen different ingredients, you can prepare the delicacy in no time. For example, strawberry-banana “canapes” will be taken away from skillful housewife at most a quarter of an hour.
- Find the recipe fruit salad or a cake that would please every single guest is impossible. But from half a dozen different options for fruit sandwiches, even the most capricious picky person will find something suitable.
- Canapés are universal. They will perfectly play the role of dessert at a family feast or buffet table, take pride of place on the children's table, and, on occasion, serve gourmet snack for strong drinks. Let's say to white wine“turrets” with tangerines, kiwis, and apricots are suitable; Melon and strawberries go with red. Sweet liqueurs are usually enjoyed with grapes and pears; cognac, in addition to the traditional slice of lemon, loves the company of apples and juicy peach, and the taste of champagne is perfectly complemented by pineapple and watermelon.
- Preparation fruit snack- pure creativity. You can not only use any fruits and berries you wish, but also feel free to combine them with other ingredients: chocolate, marshmallows, fondant, nuts, marmalade. Sometimes even ham and cheese are used. Complete creative freedom and no boundaries!
Traditionally, it is customary to serve 3-4 canapés with with different fillings. Moreover, it is advisable to calculate the total amount of snacks in advance so that each guest has at least 8 miniature sandwiches. Considering that canapés are a one-bite treat, they can fly off the plate in a few minutes, but no one should be left behind.
How to cut fruit beautifully
The easiest way out is to take a knife and simply chop the washed and peeled and pitted fruits into cubes or slices. Cheap and cheerful, but ineffective in terms of wasted time. And the beauty of future “canapes” will suffer, since not everyone will be able to fit hand-cut pieces to one size, and different-sized slices will greatly spoil the appearance of the snack.
The neater the pieces, the more spectacular the result.
If you have a special spoon for slicing watermelon and melon in your kitchen, use it. Perfectly even multi-colored spheres on skewers always look impressive.
You can turn any large fruit with not too dense pulp into balls.
Using cookie cutters, you can turn fruit slices into shapes of any complexity.
A true masterpiece in miniature
If you are seriously passionate about the theme of canapés and are going to regularly treat guests and family with sweet “kebabs,” it won’t hurt to purchase special device for cutting berries and fruits into pieces. IN budget option It will be replaced by a regular egg slicer.
The slices will look identical
The most advanced cooks will come to the aid of a special syringe for canapés. Using it, successively cut pieces of fruit selected for the treat, press the piston, and the finished treat will appear on your plate. All that remains is to fasten it with a fancy skewer. The syringe can also easily handle pieces of biscuit, marshmallow, marmalade and other goodies if it occurs to you to add them to your creation.
Don't have a cooking syringe? Take a regular one, cutting off the top
Remember that fruit is a perishable product. They quickly give up juice, darken and lose their shape, so you need to prepare the delicacy shortly before serving, sprinkling the pieces with lemon juice for better preservation.

Canapés can include more than just fruits. Berries - such as strawberries - are also a common ingredient. The components themselves can be coated with chocolate, nuts and non-fruit ingredients can be added to them - cheese, marshmallows, marmalade or even shrimp.
