Tips and Variations

– I love the sweet and sour combination of these particular ingredients, so much that the first time I tried it was just a few Christmases ago (at the time I simply made it in the shape of a crescent); this does not preclude you, of course, from varying the ingredients as you prefer. Another combination I love, for example, is smoked salmon and robiola cheese, always perfect for the holidays 🙂

– The puff pastry tree with speck, apples, and Asiago will be perfect to serve during the holiday season as an appetizer to nibble on before the main courses. As I mentioned earlier, it’s delicious whether warm or at room temperature.
