Ingredients needed for a Fruit Flower Tray:
- Dried Herbs
- A variety of colorful fruits- we used 8 Strawberries (think blueberries, grapes, kiwi, oranges, cantaloupe, honeydew)
- 2 Bananas
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Large platter or tray
Directions to make a Fruit Flower Tray:
Wash and dry your fruits thoroughly. This ensures food safety and prevents browning.
Prepare the fruit. Halve the strawberries. Peel and cut off three slices of banana. Use the rest of the banana to make flower stems.
Assemble your masterpiece! Cut the tips off of the second banana and place it on the tray. Add the banana slices and stems. Create flower petals with the strawberry slices.
Make it pretty. Use the dried herbs to create flower leaves. Add edible flowers for a pretty touch.
Get the kids involved! This is a perfect activity for little hands. They can help wash and dry the fruits, arrange the slices, or even get creative with their own fruit flower designs.
FAQs:
- Can I use other fruits? Absolutely! Get creative and experiment with different fruits in season. Stone fruits like peaches or plums can be sliced and fanned out for a blooming flower effect.
- How long will the fruit tray stay fresh? It’s best to prepare your fruit flower tray right before serving to ensure maximum freshness. However, any leftover fruit can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
