Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Oranges
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 0.5 cup Green grapes
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Wash the oranges thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Carefully cut off the top of each orange (about 1/2 inch from the top) to create a lid.
Using a spoon, gently scoop out the flesh of the oranges without breaking the peel. Reserve the orange segments for the filling and discard any excess pith. Be cautious to keep the orange peel intact as this will become your Jack O' Lantern base.
Using a small paring knife, carve fun or spooky Jack O' Lantern faces into one side of each hollowed-out orange peel.
Chop the reserved orange segments into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the pineapple chunks, diced strawberries, blueberries, and halved green grapes to the bowl. Mix gently to combine.
If desired, drizzle the fruit salad with honey for extra sweetness and stir lightly.
Fill each carved orange peel with the fruit salad mixture, slightly mounding it on top.
Place the orange lids back on top to complete the Jack O' Lantern look, and serve immediately. Alternatively, these can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving.
