Here's a look at the fruit for the fruit platter. I bought my usual fruit selection from Costco. I eat a lot of fruit and this about a 2 week supply. Pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, kiwi, clementines, and pears (didn't end up using pears or purple grapes but I will use them up).
Start by washing and cutting up the fruit that needs cut. I cut the pineapple into small pieces (you could also used diced canned pineapple). The design is a chick carrying an Easter egg. Start with the head and body of the chick out of pineapple:
Next, use colorful fruit to create the striped egg. Think 3D here. You want to pile the center higher than the edges so the platter doesn't look flat.
Two slices of clementines made the chick's beak:
I saved 2 big chunks of pineapple to create the chick's tail and arm. I have this metal fruit cutter. You can also use a paring knife to create the same shape.
Two smaller blueberries make the eyes. The legs/feet are clementines.
Fill in the empty space with green fruit for the grass and blueberries for the sky:

This is adorable! Thank you for the breakdown, I feel like I could actually make this one a reality this Easter :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. I may have to do this for Easter. Pinned!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. Love the 3D effect and it's so much healthier than the usual sweets people have for Easter. QUESTION: Approximately what size tray did you use?
