Fruit Tray Ideas

About Fruit Tray Ideas Android App

A recipe for a fruit tray might seem unnecessary but for any caterer it is the most requested item on the menu. It is helpful to have a quantity guide to assist in purchasing the right amount of fruit and avoid over-buying such a perishable item.
A few rules that I use in making up a platter are:
1. Keep the same fruit together on the platter. Mixing it up makes less of an impact and effects the fruits flavor.
2. Choose what’s ripe and tasty. It is better to serve fewer choices then unripe fruit that makes you pucker.
3. Smaller items like berries and softer items like kiwi last better and are more attractive toward the center or top of the platter.
4. If using pineapple the leafy top makes a nice centerpiece for your fruit platter (and it’s free). Place it on the platter first at the center or top then arrange other fruits in sections around.
5. Snip grapes in small 4 to 5 grape clusters then bunch back together to hide stems. Guests can grab a cluster and they have a visual impact as a group.
