How To Make A Successful Fruit Platter
There are so many tips, which can be followed to make a fruit platter look beautiful for any given occasion. Here are some of them:
1. Consider the Color Combination
Think about all your favorite fruits and the color of their texture. Choose those that come in a variety of colors and scatter them all throughout a serving dish.
You have to include fruits that come in big blocks of color, and place a fruit that has contrasting color next to it. Let the colors of the fruits be the center of attraction.
2. Use All Parts of the Fruit
Shells, stems and even the rinds of a fruit can make your fruit platter look pretty interesting. If for example you’re using a pineapple, chop the top part of it and use the leaves as the centerpiece. Or you may hollow out the bottom part, leaving all sides intact and fill it up with berries and nuts. If you use a watermelon, you can hollow out its bottom part and fill it up with melon balls. Be more creative, by carving it out to make it look like a basket.
3. Chop Fruits in bite size shapes
Making melon balls can be very difficult but it is just so worth it. They look so nice especially when all of them have roughly the same shape and sizes. However, if you don’t have that much patience, just make sure to cut your fruits in bite sized pieces. That way, it will be easy to scoop it up.
4. Use a Serving Dish with Ridges
Fruits are juicy, and that is why most people it, however this also makes it very messy. Therefore, you have to make sure to use a dish that has ridges, or a lip, enough to catch any juices that come out. This is very important, especially if you are carrying the dishes. Of course, you would not want the watermelon juice to be dripping down.
5. Be Adventurous
There are many classic fruit staples that are available now, but it would be interesting to come up with some new fruits available. Examples are the kiwi fruits or if you’ve never had star fruit, try using this uniquely shaped fruit! It
