Total time:

Serves: 6

4 ripe nectarines (sliced into wedges)

80g Parma ham or Prosciutto

100g salad leaves/rocket

50g toasted pine nuts

6tbsp rapeseed or olive oil (we like Pure Kent Oak Smoked Rapeseed Oil)

125g local goats’ cheese (we like The Traditional Cheese Dairy’s ‘Stonegate’)

A delightful combination of summer flavours from Nicci Gurr.

Wash and spin the salad leaves. Wrap the wedges of nectarine with the strips of Parma ham and place randomly over the leaves. Crumble the goats’ cheese on top and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts. Serve with a simple dressing of rapeseed or olive oil.

Savoury gingerbread & local Camembert (Winnie’s Wheel)

To make this canapé you can use shop-bought gingerbread, but I prefer something a bit more savoury.

Parma ham basket with labneh, truffle or herb oil & Jerusalem artichoke crisp

A complex canapé with multiple elements, but the wow factor lies in the surprisingly simple-to-make basket.

Chilli beef, mozzarella & chilli jam bruschetta

A super easy canapé that can be elevated with homemade bread and chutney or simplified using shop-bought ingredients. The flexibility makes it ideal for both casual gatherings and more polished events.
