How to Make

A Fruit Bouquet

aga.png

Tools & Supplies:

  • One 6-inch foam ball and a vase or decorative flower pot with a 6-inch opening

  • Melon baller

  • 2 large cookie cutters: one heart and one flower

  • Box of wooden toothpicks; a package of bamboo skewers

Fruit:

  • Seedless watermelon

  • Cantaloupe

  • Honeydew melon

  • Pineapple

  • Strawberries

  • Dark purple seedless grapes

  • Head of green leaf lettuce

Instructions:

  1. If your vase opening is small, cut pieces off the foam ball with a serrated bread knife so it will fit into the vase. The round ball of foam will give your bouquet a nice shape.

  2. Fasten the lettuce leaves into the ball with toothpicks to hide all the foam. It takes time to cut out and assemble all the fruit skewers, so keep the lettuce-covered foam ball and vase in the refrigerator while you make the flowers.

  3. Using the cookie cutters, cut 1-inch slices from the watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and pineapple. You don't need to peel anything, since you're cutting shapes from the slices.

  4. Cut out pink hearts from the watermelon and flowers from the cantaloupe, pineapple, and honeydew. Cut little balls out of each fruit with the melon baller to use for centers. Cutting the pineapple is a challenge. You have to push that cutter firmly to cut through the fibrous fruit.

  5. cut a lot of skewers in half with scissors, and make half-size skewers out of strawberries, grapes, and various melon balls, to help fill out the bouquet. Core the strawberries so everything will be easy to eat.

  6. Poke skewers firmly into the foam ball through the lettuce. Space the skewers evenly, putting tall ones towards the back. Fill in with half-size skewers. Thread the cut fruit onto the skewers. Squint, consider, and move a skewer here and a pink heart there, until you are satisfied with the arrangement. It's easier to push the skewers in first and then thread on the fruit, to keep things from falling apart.

  7. Finally, store the finished bouquet in the refrigerator until it's time to present it.

Ingredients:

For Spring Rolls:

  • 8 strawberries

  • 2 kiwis

  • 1 mango

  • 1 apple

  • 1/4 lemon

  • 1 cup baby spinach

  • 6 rice paper wraps

For Caramel Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1/4 cup 50r packed brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup 60ml heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • Pinch of sea salt

For Chocolate Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup 50gr semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin slices. Peel and cut the kiwis into thin slices. Peel and cut mango into matchsticks. Quarter the apple, cut out the seeds and cut into matchsticks as well. Drizzle some lemon juice over the apples to prevent from browning.

  2. In a large pot, add warm water and soak the rice paper wraps for about 20-30 seconds, turning it as you’re turning the steering wheel. The wrap should be pliable, but still slightly firm, as it will soften while you put the filling. Put the rice paper wrap smooth side down and arrange the fruits on one half of the wrap, as shown in the video. Fold in nearest end over the filling, fold in 2 sides of the wrap, and then tightly, but carefully roll it. 

  3. To prepare the caramel sauce for dipping, place the butter and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add heavy cream and cook for about 5 minutes, whisking frequently. Add vanilla extract and salt. 

  4. To make the chocolate sauce for dipping, heat the heavy cream in the microwave for 30 seconds or so. Pour it over chocolate chips and let it stand for a minute. Stir until smooth.
