Tips
- Why it works
- Pat the olives and grapes dry so the moisture doesn't soften the cheese and ham and the canapés don't slide off the skewer. Cut the cheese into 2 cm cubes so it holds its shape and doesn't crumble.
- Substitutions
- Swap the hard cheese for mozzarella balls (the same 60 g) or feta cubes. Feta is saltier, so use fewer olives. You can swap the ham for lightly salted salmon.
- Common mistakes
- Wet grapes and olives on the skewers leave a puddle on the platter, and the ham darkens and turns soggy. Blot everything before assembling and check that the towel shows no damp marks.
- Storing and reheating
- Fresh, they keep well for 3–4 hours in the fridge under film. The next day the cheese dries out and the grapes release juice, so eat them the day you make them.
- Serve with
- Serve on a shared platter with sparkling wine or juice at the New Year table. The skewers are easy to pick up by hand.
