Create a fruit platter for your next party or event that has guests coming back for more. Use top-quality fresh fruits with bright colors to make a tempting item on the buffet table that is actually healthy. Guests will appreciate your sense of artistic taste and enjoy your delicious fruit choices when you put a little extra effort into your fresh fruit platter.
Instructions
Arranging a Fruit Party Platter
1. Use your knife to cut your selection of fruit into varying bite-size shapes. Dryer denser fruits do better in thinner slices and juicier moister fruits keep their shape well when cut into chunks.
2. Start at the outer rim of your platter by placing slices of dense dry fruits like apple or melon stacked in groups of five slices, then spread them out like a fan.
3. Work in circles inward from the apple slices by placing fruit of varying colors and shapes next to each other.
4. Place your largest chunks or anything that would roll off your platter during transport, like grapes, in the center.
5. Add height and appeal to the tray by stacking the fruit as high as is stable in the middle and adding edible flowers or a pineapple top.
6. Cover your fresh fruit platter with plastic wrap and seal the edges carefully to keep the contents moist in the refrigerator until right before serving.
