Ingredients
- 1 mini watermelon
- 16 oz. blueberries
- 16 oz. blackberries
- 16 oz. raspberries
- 16 oz. strawberries
- 16 oz. pineapple optional
- 1 large bunch red seedless grapes
- 1 large bunch green seedless grapes
Instructions
- Rinse berries and gently pat dry with a paper towel.
- Use any size or shape of platter you can find. Larger platters create a better presentation.
- Carve a mini watermelon using a melon carver (ad). Pierce the watermelon with the carver and use an in and out motion to cut it in half.
- Place both halves of carved mini watermelon on the platter towards the edge. Remove pulp from middle with a spoon.
- Tuck a few strawberries and grape clusters under the watermelon halves to prop them up.
- Begin stuffing grapes in holes of carved watermelon, allowing them to cascade to the platter.
- Arrange other fruit in groups, piling it high to create an abundant look. Fill in gaps with smaller berries.
Notes
- Feel free to use other melons if you prefer, but make sure they are small or they will overwhelm the platter.
- Berries, melon and grapes stay fresh longer and are the best choice for a fruit platter.
- This platter can be made a day in advance if wrapped with saran wrap and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
