Fresh Fruit Platter
Sweets and treats abound at holiday parties, so fresh fruit is always welcome by guests who want to refresh their palates or are watching their waistlines. White Chocolate Cheesecake Dip makes the fruit even more enticing to those who aren't. Serve about 1 cup (250 mL) of cut fruit per person.
Servings:
Ingredients:
-
1 golden pineapple
Half cantaloupe, seeded
Half small honeydew melon, seeded
3 kiwifruit
1 cup (250 mL) blueberries or raspberries
1 tbsp (15 mL) finely shredded fresh mint or scented geranium leaves
Preparation:
With sharp knife, cut pineapple lengthwise through leaves into quarters; cut away core. With knife, cut between pineapple flesh and peel to release fruit. Remove any eyes. While still on peel, cut fruit into bite-size pieces.
Peel cantaloupe; cut into 10 wedges. Cut each into bite-size pieces.
Peel honeydew melon; cut into 8 wedges. Cut each into bite-size pieces. Peel kiwifruit; cut each into 8 wedges.
Arrange pineapple on peel with leaves along edge of platter. Arrange cantaloupe, honeydew melon and kiwifruit attractively in piles around pineapple. Sprinkle blueberries over pineapple; sprinkle mint over honeydew melon. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
