Fruit platter - table decoration. Bright oranges, juicy berries, golden bananas and tender kiwis on a beautiful plate are practically a masterpiece that does not require any additional decorations. However, a masterpiece differs from just good work in that everything in it is in its place. There are several safe options for serving fruit to the table.
Instructions
Step 1
Slice the fruit into rings and place on a flat dish. Let the rings of oranges go as the first layer. Place the kiwi rings on them, and on top of the banana slices. Decorate the middle of the composition with berries - cranberries, blueberries, currants, strawberries or raspberries.
Step 2
Fruit Vase Take a large, shallow stemmed vase or decorative basket and fill it with apples, plums, bananas, and more. The main rule here is that fruits should approximately correspond to one climatic zone and one season. That is, the proximity of pineapple and, say, Granny Smith apples, as well as strawberries and grapes, is not welcome. Example. Lay out the red-golden autumn fruits: apples, pears. Decorate the composition with beautiful bunches of white and black grapes (preferably pitted). Now serve this delicious still life to the table. The guests will be delighted.
Step 3
Fruit skewers Prepare long wooden skewers. Cut the fruit into small pieces of approximately the same size and string on skewers in random order. Now put the kind of kebabs on the dish, placing them in a fan, and serve. Fruit skewers placed in a tall vase will look even more impressive. You will get a kind of sweet bouquet.
Step 4
Flambe: Surprise your guests with a fire show. Cut the fruit into slices and place on a metal dish. Sprinkle the bananas, apples, berries with powdered sugar to get the finest crispy crust as a result of flambing. Pour cognac or brandy into a Turk or a regular ladle, heat it up and then light it. Pour the burning liquid over the fruit and, to the applause of the guests, bring the flaming dish into the room. Do not forget to turn off the lights before serving!
Step 5
Dessert Salad Serve the bowls with fruit salad made of finely chopped citrus fruits, bananas, apples and the like, seasoned with honey, yoghurt, sweet sauce. The classic fruit and salad genre is strawberry with cream.
Step 6
Fondue Have a fruit fondue tea party. Beautifully put apples, bananas, cut into small slices, as well as strawberries, grapes in several vases. Heat 150 ml heavy cream in a ceramic fondue bowl. Then break 250 grams of chocolate into pieces and melt in the cream. You can add 1 tablespoon of brandy to the chocolate mixture. Distribute fondue forks to the guests and invite them to make their own dessert by pricking fruit pieces onto the forks and dipping them in chocolate. By the way, instead of fresh fruits, you can serve canned (for example, pineapples), as well as pancakes, pieces of biscuit.
