Get ready to WOW the crowds at your next potluck and it won’t take a lot of time to do so. In the video from EasyPeasyKitchen, we learn how to make a professional fruit platter. With summer’s fruits filling the markets, the timing is perfect.
This fruit platter might look like it costs a fortune and/or took endless hours to make, but neither is true. In fact, even with the melon flower garnish, our hostess says it only takes a mere 17 minutes to create this fruity masterpiece.
The video begins with a trip to the market. For this stunning professional fruit platter, our hostess used:
- Watermelon
- Cantaloupe
- Grapes
- Kiwis
- Strawberries
- A pineapple
- Oranges
Of course, you can alter this and use the best-looking fruit available on the day you shop.
Our hostess stresses that no matter where you live and what is in season when you decide to make the fruit platter, the techniques in the video will help you achieve that showstopping presentation.
How to make a fruit platter that WOWs!
Technique 1: Peeling the fruit…or not: This will depend on whether or not the fruit is easy to eat with the rind, like watermelon, or without, like kiwi. Our hostess demonstrates how to properly peel and prepare pineapple, kiwi, oranges, and cantaloupe.
Technique 2: Decorative cuts: How to zig-zag cut a melon, how to make a beautiful melon flower, how to make kiwi flowers, how to make strawberry fans, and how to cut perfect watermelon triangles are all demonstrated in the video.
Technique 3: Putting it all together: How to arrange the fruit into a presentation on the platter with a serious WOW factor is not as difficult as you might think. The video shows you what to consider when arranging your perfect fruit platter.
After watching the video you will see it is within the reach of anyone to create a gorgeous, photo-worthy fruit platter.
