Pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Platter

Print Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Makes 1 platter, serves 8 to 10

Ingredients

  • 8 medium mandarins or clementines peeled and segmented (keep segments intact)
  • 1 kiwi fruit peeled and cut into a short cylinder, then halved lengthways to form a stem shape
  • 16 blueberries
  • 10 green seedless grapes halved lengthways
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Choose a large white or pale platter (at least 30 cm wide). Set the kiwi piece at the top centre to act as the pumpkin stem.
  • Fan mandarin segments outward from the base of the kiwi in a rounded pumpkin shape, overlapping slightly and keeping the curve even on both sides.
  • Use 6 blueberries arranged in two triangles to form the eyes of the jack-o-lantern face.
  • Place 4 blueberries in a curved line below the eyes to form the nose triangle.
  • Arrange the halved green grapes in a wide zigzag line below the nose to form the jagged mouth.
  • Brush any cut grape or kiwi surfaces lightly with lemon juice to slow browning.
  • Serve immediately or cover directly with cling film and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
