Ingredients

  • pint of raspberries
  • pint of Strawberries
  • pint of blackberries
  • 2 oranges sliced
  • bunch of green grapes
  • half a watermelon sliced
  • 2 bananas
  • 2 peaches sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prep the fruit by washing and cutting into appropriate sizes.
  2. Make your dipping sauce. I have a couple recommendations below.
  3. Get your platter and bowls out. Place your bowls on the tray.
  4. Add your dip to the bowls.
  5. Arrange your larger fruit on the platter.
  6. Add and arrange your smaller fruits to the tray.
  7. Fill in the holes by working in layers as you may need to rearrange some fruit on the tray.
  8. Add the smallest fruit and your garnish of seeds, nuts or other small pieces to complete your display.

Notes

  • Cut fruit in appropriate sizes for ages of guests. 
  • Use a smaller fruit tray for your fruit. This will create a boisterous looking fruit platter that is more visually appealing.
  • Also remember when choosing a serving tray, choose one with a lip to hold the fruit juices in. 
  • Remember to use fruit that’s in season as it will have the most flavor. 
  • Cut fruit into various shapes to add more appealing elements to your fruit arrangement. 
  • Have and use a fruit only cutting board so the flavors from other ingredients don’t tarnish the taste of your fresh fruit. 
  • If leaving fruit and dip out for more than 2 hrs, try to chill the tray and bowl ahead of time to help keep the fruit fresh.
