Fruit is a wonderful decoration of the table and a delicious addition to drinks and meals. They can be served whole, beautifully arranged in special vases. But in some cases, for example, during buffets, fruits and berries are served differently.
It is necessary
- - plastic plugs;
- - wooden skewers and toothpicks;
- - a sharp knife;
- - mineral water;
- - mint leaves, currant twigs.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the container for the fruit. These can be large flat dishes and plates - round, square, oval or triangular. Curly cuts look beautiful on such dishes. Multi-storey vases look very elegant, in which fruit canapes can be laid out.
Step 2
In the center of the dish, you can place a small watermelon decorated with flowers carved using the carving technique. If the art of curly cutting for vegetables and fruits is not available to you, limit yourself to a whole pineapple. Place it in the center of a flat plate. Around in concentric circles, begin to lay out chopped fruits - apples, orange, pears, kiwi. Pour strawberries, grapes and cherries into mouth-watering slides.
Step 3
The main thing at the buffet table is convenience. The fruit should be cut into small pieces. It is important that they are easy to pin on the fork and not dropped on the way to your mouth. Cut pineapples in segments, oranges in thin half rings, apples in not too large slices. Place plastic pruning forks nearby.
Step 4
A very convenient option for guests is fruit kebabs and canapes. On skewers of different sizes or toothpicks, cubes of fruit and whole berries of strawberries or grapes are pricked. Sometimes such sets are complemented with cheese cubes.
Step 5
Fruit and berry salads can be served in containers cut from watermelon or melon. Carefully cut off the top of the fruit, select the pulp from it with a special round spoon to form balls. On the side of the watermelon with a sharp knife, cut out a part of the peel according to a pre-prepared stencil. It can be a hieroglyph, picture or company logo. In the resulting vase, place the balls of pulp mixed with slices of orange, mango, pineapple and strawberries.
Step 6
For a summer banquet or buffet table, vases made of ice are suitable. Prepare two bowls of different diameters but the same height. Deep, clear glass bowls are best. Fill a large container up to a third with water. Place the smaller bowl inward and tape it in a crisscross pattern. Place currant sprigs, mint leaves or rose petals between the sides of the bowls. Thinly sliced circles of lemons and oranges also look beautiful.
Step 7
Place the bowls in the freezer of the refrigerator for several hours. Remove the containers, lay out another row of decorative items, add water to the brim and freeze again. To remove the finished bowl, pour warm water into a smaller bowl and carefully separate the structure. Store the ice vase in the refrigerator. Fill it with berries or fruit kebabs before serving.
