They are interesting, varied, and allow you to get creative from the heart with taste and form. In short, it wouldn’t hurt any housewife to master a couple of recipes for preparing fruit snacks on skewers. Believe me, they will come in handy more than once.
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, but also aromatic fruits onto a wooden skewer - is now not possible. 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 different ingredients, you can prepare the delicacy in no time. For example, strawberry-banana “canapes” will take a skilled 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 out of half a dozen different options fruit sandwiches, even the most capricious picky person will find something suitable for himself.
- Canapés are universal. They will perfectly play the role of dessert at a family feast or buffet, and will take pride of place on children's table, and on occasion they will serve as a 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.
- Making fruit snacks is 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 release juice, darken and lose their shape, so you need to prepare the delicacy shortly before serving, sprinkling the pieces for better preservation. lemon juice.

And if someone has special plastic molds, then you can’t imagine anything better.
The advantage of toast bread is that it is already cut into pieces of uniform thickness. And if we manage to give them a beautiful, neat shape, then the success of the snack will be guaranteed!
2. Cut the cucumber into rings approximately 0.6 - 0.7 cm thick. And place on each piece of bread.
3. Cut the salmon into long thin strips. Then spread cottage cheese on each piece and roll it up. Adjust the size of the roll yourself.
4. Place each small roll vertically. It should be supported by the cheese, which will sink down a little.
And this is what beautiful snack We got it in the end. Lovely - expensive to watch. And how delicious it is to eat! Just lick your fingers! For ease of use, place skewers or toothpicks on the tray. They will be convenient to take and eat canapés.
You can also cook something like this with salmon nice option snacks. Here salmon flaunts in the center of the composition in the form of a rose. I have already described how to do it. Therefore, I will not repeat myself. If you like the design, follow the link and you will find the recipe there.
I will only say that as the basis of the “sofa” you can use a piece of black bread, a loaf of bread, or a cracker. And instead of salmon, you can take other red fish.
A simple recipe with shrimp skewers
And this is perhaps the simplest recipe to prepare. And how beautiful and tasty the finished dish looks!
We will need (for 10 pcs):
- boiled shrimp – 10 pcs.
- small tomatoes – 4 – 5 pcs (cherry can be used)
- toast bread – 3 – 4 pcs
We will also need skewers for decoration.
Preparation:
1. Boil shrimp in lightly salted water for 2 - 3 minutes, depending on their size. It is better that they are larger, otherwise the appetizer will simply get lost on the table.
Then drain them in a colander, drain the water and let them dry. Then clean it, removing the shell and head. It is also better to remove the tail. Since the appetizer will be “one bite”, it is better that the tail does not get in the way.
2. Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into slices. The main thing is that all the circles, or halves if they are cherry tomatoes, are approximately the same.
3. Cut out any shape in the bread using a notch. If our tomatoes are cut into rounds, then it is better that the bread is cut as well.
4. Dry it a little in a dry frying pan. Make sure that the bread is not fried too much, otherwise the appearance of the snack will suffer. Or you can not fry it at all, in which case it will not be crispy.
5. Place a tomato on each piece of bread and place a shrimp on top. Pierce it with a toothpick and place on a plate.
Everyone loves shrimp, and therefore such a canapé will not stay on the table for long. The snack is simple, tasty and light. Therefore, I advise you to cook more of it. Because she is always missing. No matter how much you cook.
Or you can prepare this simple one: interesting option. It contains only two ingredients – boiled shrimp and grapes. And how beautiful and tasty it turns out!
Or here is another design that can decorate the table. Any base is spread soft cheese. Topped with cucumbers, boiled shrimp and a piece of grapefruit. A slice of lemon and a sprig of herbs were used as decoration. Very simple and very tasty.
Dessert design with fruits
Canapés are prepared not only with vegetables, fish and seafood. Dessert snacks always occupy a special place on the table. And you can prepare them from absolutely any fruit, be it fresh or canned.
The only difference is that canned fruits It’s better to put it on crackers, that is, on a “sofa,” but fresh ones have a denser texture, and therefore they can be placed on skewers.
Since there is nothing special to describe in such options, I suggest just carefully looking at the photographs with beautiful design. Subsequently, you can take the ideas for yourself and simply repeat. Or come up with something similar.
For example, like this. Leave small fruits whole, and cut larger ones into pieces. Since the canapé turned out to be quite large, it is better to put it on a plate. And you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for beauty.
If we take the next composition, it is also good and beautiful. And it will 100% delight everyone present with its bright colors.
And this recipe is very simple. And just to match Santa Claus's New Year's hat.
You can prepare a composition that is a little more complicated. To do this you just need to prepare chocolate glaze, or just melt the chocolate. Then thread the fruit onto skewers and pour it over it, creating a zigzag shape. Place in the refrigerator until the glaze hardens. And you can serve such beauty to the table.
That is, as you can see, there is nothing complicated in preparing such compositions. And it doesn't take much time. Plus it's very convenient. There are all the fruits on one skewer at once. And you can treat yourself to them. As a rule, guests really like this presentation.

It all depends on preference. Any cheese is suitable - both our Russian one and all pickled varieties, which include Adygei, Suluguni, feta cheese. You can also use good processed cheese. Well, such noble varieties as Camaber, Dor Blue, Parmesan will be considered the height of sophistication.
There are many varieties of cheese, and we will not list them all. Better yet, let's look at the design options. They are both good and simple.
Here's an interesting and original recipe with seedless grapes and Maasdam cheese. The cheese is cut into strips of the same size and rolled into a tube. And on top of it all is decorated with a grape pinned with a toothpick. To make it look more elegant, replace the toothpicks with skewers.
And in the next design option, grapes of different colors and sizes are used. Since it had bones, it was cut into two halves and the bones were removed.
And also garnished with a piece of walnut
Agree that the dish turned out beautiful. And it will take pride of place on the table.
And this composition with noble blue cheese Dor Blue. Usually, if you buy this kind of cheese, it’s only a little bit. It's too expensive for us. Namely, in this execution it can be beautifully served and treated to all guests. And the dish will not be small at all.
Please also note that mango is also used in the ingredients. Walk, just walk. We have festive canapes! Well, overall it’s beautiful, isn’t it?!
And who among us would refuse to eat a piece of Caumabert for a holiday? There’s no need to try too hard on decoration here either. Cheese will be the best decoration.
And finally, here is the recipe. Here small buns are used as the base. They need to cut off the top and grease the base with curd cheese. Then cut the ham or jerky very thinly. Roll it into a roll, putting mint or parsley in the middle. Then put it on the cheese and cover it with a lid - the top.
Decorate with a grape and prick the entire structure with a skewer. So that it holds well and is convenient to take from a common dish.
As you can see, there are also more than enough ideas. And they are all beautiful and tasty.
Just remember to cut the grapes with the seeds inside into halves. They must be removed.
Simple and delicious recipes for a small snack with cheese

The recipes are also very simple. Therefore, all that remains is to take it and choose a recipe to suit your taste. And build the composition you like. Let's look at some of them.

Canapé recipes for a children's holiday table
Recently, it has become very fashionable to decorate children's tables with canapés. And I must say that it is very convenient. While children are small, it is difficult for them to sit in one place. And even more so, wait for a change of cold and hot dishes. In addition, each child has his own food preferences. And it's very difficult to please everyone.
But any snack in the form of a canapé is a win-win option. Many children love cheese, meat, shrimp, fruits and vegetables. They also love bright, rich colors. And if you make them in this category, then children will like it much more than, say, our boring salads, or meat baked in the oven.

And this is what a cheerful caterpillar might look like. And you can make it in just 5 – 10 minutes. Yes, it’s better to buy eyes for this in advance.
If you have more time, bake many small buns and one larger one on a baking sheet. Assemble all the blanks into one snake-shaped structure. During baking, all the pieces are combined into one large figure. Then let it cool and decorate as you wish.
Children will simply be delighted with such beauty. And everyone will get a bun, or even two.
And finally, I decided to leave two recipes that the kids will be absolutely delighted with. They all love all kinds of marmalades and sweets. Therefore, they will definitely like this idea.
And here’s another idea for a beautiful presentation of tasty treats for tea. Place such a composition on the table of adults, and they will probably not remain indifferent. And everyone will want to take at least one such tasty skewer on their plate.
