How to Make a Pineapple Palm Tree Fruit Tray
Description
The Pineapple Palm Tree Fruit Tray assembles three whole pineapples stacked vertically to look like a palm tree. The process involves slicing the pineapple tops off, then securing the pineapples together with bamboo skewers around the edges and through the centers. Garden stakes provide additional support by penetrating through all three pineapples from top to bottom. The top pineapple is decorated with green ferns to represent palm tree leaves, and assorted chopped fruit can be served around or within the display.
Coring the pineapples before stacking can make them lighter and more stable while still maintaining enough flesh to hold skewers and stakes securely. The finished tray is placed on a large serving dish or tray for presentation. This setup is ideal for parties or gatherings where a decorative and functional fruit display is desired.
Ingredients
- 3 pineapple try to find 1 with a flat bottom that stands well!, whole
- Fruit assorted chopped of your choice
- bamboo skewers
- thin garden stakes
- ferns greenery for the top
Instructions
- Note: you can core the pineapples if you wish. This will make them less heavy and slightly more sturdy. You just want to make sure there is enough pineapple left to stick the stakes and skewers in so they hold together.
- Slice the tops off the pineapples. Take the one that stands the best (ha!) and place it on a cutting board. Stick 3 to 4 bamboo skewers around the edges, then stick the next pineapple on top, pressing it into the bamboo skewers.
- Stick another 3 to 4 bamboo skewers (or more if necessary! It depends on the size/weight of your pineapplein the second pineapple. Stick the third pineapple on top, then stick another 3 to 4 bamboo skewers straight down through.
- Take 1 or 2 garden steaks and gently press them straight down, starting at the top pineapple, into the next two pineapples. This may take another stake – you just want to make sure the pineapple is somewhat sturdy.
- At this point, place your pineapple on a large plate, tray or dish where you will be serving the fruit.
- Take one of the pineapple tops and press a bamboo skewers into the bottom, then set that on top of the pineapple tree. From there, take your ferns and greenery and stick them into the top pineapple (right into the fruito create your leaves. There is no “right” way to do it!
- Assemble the cut fruit around the bottom of the tree. Again, no right way to do it – just display it around, as much or as little as you’d like! It’s sort of like assembling a cheeseboard.
- ENJOY!
