Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pint Strawberries
- 1 whole Pineapple
- 2 cups Green grapes
- 2 cups Red grapes
- 1 whole Melon (cantaloupe or honeydew)
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 whole Kiwi
- 15 pieces Skewers (wooden or bamboo)
- 4 whole Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Large vase or decorative container
- 1 piece Floral foam (cut to fit your vase)
- 1 set Cookie cutters (optional, for shapes)
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry all the fruits to ensure they stay fresh longer in the arrangement.
Hull the strawberries and leave them whole.
Peel and core the pineapple. Slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Use cookie cutters to cut the pineapple slices into fun shapes, such as flowers or stars.
Peel the kiwi and slice it into round pieces about 1/4-inch thick.
Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds, and use a melon baller to scoop out round pieces.
Thread the fruit onto skewers to create colorful patterns. For example, alternate between melon balls, grapes, and a pineapple flower. Top some skewers with a whole strawberry to mimic a flower bud.
Line the base of your vase or decorative container with lettuce leaves to create a natural-looking foundation.
Insert a piece of floral foam into the vase to hold the skewers. Trim the floral foam if needed so it fits snugly.
Carefully insert the skewers into the floral foam at various heights to create a bouquet effect. Arrange them so the colors and shapes are evenly distributed and visually balanced.
Add final touches like blueberries tucked into spaces between skewers for extra pops of color.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. If storing, keep it covered with plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
