The combination of sweet fruits and meat always creates intrigue in appetizers, but the smoky trail of smoked bacon adds new depth. The trick is to wrap apple slices in bacon slices and fry them like that , they bake together, and you get beauty: a ruddy, shiny bacon crust on top, and an apple slice turned into a semi-puree, soaked in the aroma of smoked meats, below. If you have good smoked sausage in the fridge instead of bacon (and you definitely will have it on a holiday), don't hesitate to cut it into the thinnest possible pieces and wrap the apples in them. And you can bake not only apples inside smoked meats, but also slices of firm pears or prunes.

The height of the persimmon season falls right on the winter holidays — and you should take advantage of this. After all, persimmon rarely enters into recipe connections, but if it becomes part of a dish, it instantly gives it tone and shares its orange mood. Here's an example: a powerful union of goat cheese, smoked chicken with an excellent balance of sour and sweet, in which the winning taste of persimmon seems even brighter. This combination can easily be used in a salad, but in miniature tartlets it becomes even more artistic: it resembles the Suprematist collages of Malevich, only with taste.
