Canapé of fruits. We decorate the festive table for children and adults

On the art of beautiful serving of dishes reason long ago and quite often. If the main dishes are all quite difficult, then the desserts are more or less clear. For example, before you serve fruit on the table, many, long without hesitation, beautifully cut them and put them in the appropriate dishes. And this option is true, familiar, convenient. But whether it is canapé. This is an interesting view, and original design, and incredible joy for children who are just crazy about such "sandwiches."

Initially, eating skewers had only a practical purpose. So you can safely eat without staining your hands. In particular, a rather popular phenomenon were pieces of bread, covered with a layer of pate and planted on skewers. Canapes of fruits everywhere began to be used only recently.

The recipe for canapé from fruit is a very conventional concept, since the most important thing in this matter is precisely the design itself. And thanks to the benefits and beauty, this dish is simply obliged to decorate a children's table at each holiday. As to whether the taste of this original dish will be pleasant to children, one can be sure, but it is possible to doubt whether it is worth buying cakes and pastries.

Usually, for preparing canapé from fruit, bright fruits are taken which give the dessert the greatest contrast. So, for example, take kiwi (green), strawberries (red), grapes (blue), peach (orange) and so on. In order for the taste to be interesting, strongly sweet fruits alternate with more "soft" ones. Perfectly eliminates the cloying aftertaste of banana, apple and pear. The use of bread in a canapé of fruit, at least, is useless, but in general, one of its kind in alliance with fruit can spoil the children's mood. Strange, but true. To ensure that the planted fruit does not slip onto your fingers, it is recommended to use hard cheese. It is not only the original flavor of flavors, but also an unusual move in decoration. But the sharp tip of the skewers is usually covered with small berries. Choose currants (red, black), small gooseberries, cranberries, mulberry and the like. Due to seasonality, frozen berries can be used for these purposes . They quickly defrost.

Making canapes from fruit does not require special culinary skills, all you need is a fantasy and a certain amount of ingenuity. It is worth considering on a specific example. So, the hedgehog. Take an ordinary loaf of bread ("yesterday" or "the day before yesterday") and wrap it with foil. Baton can be "revived", attaching with the help of toothpicks in front of him eyes and nose of currant berries. Skewers with already strung fruit are stuck in the loaf. For the "adult" buffet table, the process of "reviving" the hedgehog is not necessary. This is much more effective than the usual cut fruits and fruit baskets, and the convenience is simply obvious.
