Fresh Fruit Bowl
Description
The Fresh Fruit Bowl features a variety of fresh fruits including watermelon, pineapple, red grapes, strawberries, and berries all cut into manageable pieces. Storing each fruit separately prevents mixing of juices that might make some fruits soggy, while paper towels in bags help with moisture control for juicy fruits like watermelon and pineapple. The recipe calls for assembling the fruits just before serving to preserve their freshness and texture. This simple preparation highlights the natural flavors and colors of the fruits and makes for an inviting presentation.
Ingredients
- 1 watermelon cut into small pieces
- 1 pineapple cut into small pieces
- 4 cups red grape rinsed and pat dry
- 1 quart strawberry washed, hulled, halved, fresh
- 3 cups berries your favorite kind
- Any other fruit you enjoy or that is in season!
Instructions
- Cut fruit into small pieces. Store each type of fruit separately, in ziplock bags. Place 1 or 2 pieces of folded paper towel in the bottom of the ziplock bags containing the really juicy fruits, like watermelon and pineapple. Refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready to serve, add everything to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
