Fruits will attract the attention of guests on any occasion. Beautifully laid fruit slices will decorate every table, regardless of the fact that you are organizing a festive dinner for a birthday or a buffet for an office corporate party. Someone may think that only professional craftsmen can do a beautiful design of fruit, but in fact anyone can beautifully arrange fruit slicing. The main thing is to follow some rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Fruit preparation. Choose your fruit responsibly. Be sure to inspect their surface so that there is no damage to the skin. The fruits should not be soft or too ripe, but firm, otherwise they will not keep their shape. Fruit for slicing is not prepared in advance, as it may darken and lose its attractive appearance. Even fruits cut before the arrival of guests may darken slightly due to interaction with oxygen. To prevent this, sprinkle the fruit with lemon juice. Taste the fruit gently before slicing it.
Step 2
Fruit slicing. Thinly sliced fruits look more aesthetically pleasing. This can only be done with a well-sharpened knife. However, the knives quickly dull on the fruit peel, so if you don't want to waste time sharpening for an emergency, then prepare a few sharp knives for the slicing process. You can use a knife to cut the fruit into slices, cubes, or circles. Therefore, if you want more originality, then use special curly graters designed for carving. With their help, you can cut the most unusual shapes from fruits. Do not cut all the fruits at once, you can always cut them and add them to the dish.
Step 3
Decorating sliced fruits on a platter. You can arrange fruits as you like. Making fruit slices is a huge field for your imagination. You can just beautifully arrange different fruits in small sectors, or you can lay out a beautiful figure, for example, a palm tree, the trunk of which is laid out from slices of banana, foliage - from kiwi, and sand at the roots - from tangerine slices. And if the dish is of sufficient size, then with the help of fruits of different colors, you can lay out a real picture. Leave the peel on the fruit, this will help to keep them marketable longer. Use additional decor in your design. Look great, and also enhance the taste, candied fruits, nuts, especially walnuts, various dried fruits.
