Ingredients

  • 2 Pineapples peeled
  • ¼ watermelon
  • 2-3 kiwi cut in cubes
  • 2 mandarin peeled and separated segments
  • 7 ounces (200g) strawberries
  • 7 ounces (200g) blackberries
  • 7 ounces (200g) raspberries
  • rosemary sprigs

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut off the tops and bottoms of each pineapple and peel. Cut off one slice and use a knife or cookie cutter to make the star for the top of the tree. Set the star aside.
  2. Cut a piece of watermelon into a triangle to create the top of the tree. Then cut the remaining watermelon into large cubes for the tree arrangement.
  3. Assemble the tree by placing one pineapple on top of each other and fix it with a skewer in the middle to hold in place.
  4. Add the watermelon on top of the pineapple stack.
  5. Add toothpicks around the pineapples and the watermelon. Cut the head of the strawberries and start arranging around them. Add kiwi, then Mandarin.
  6. Keep building with the berries. Add more toothpicks if needed. Be careful with the small berries as they will break easily. Place them gently on the tree.
  7. Transfer tree on a plate. Arrange rosemary around it.
  8. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Choose a variety of fruits in different colors and sizes. Aim for a balance between sweet, tart, and refreshing flavors.
  • Opt for the freshest fruits available to ensure the best taste and texture. Seasonal fruits often have more vibrant colors and flavors.
  • If using fruits like apples or pears that can brown when exposed to air, lightly brush them with lemon juice to maintain their freshness and color.
  • Take your time when slicing and preparing the fruits. Uniformity in size and shape makes for a more visually appealing tree.
  • Ensure the base fruits (e.g., pineapples or watermelon) are stable and secure on the platter to support the weight of the tree.
  • Start with the larger fruits at the bottom and work your way up with smaller fruits. This layering creates the classic Christmas tree shape.
  • If using toothpicks or skewers to secure the fruits, hide them beneath the fruit to maintain a clean and polished appearance.
