DECORATING

Holiday Party Edible Centerpieces

Make a delightful centerpiece for your Holiday party.

Pick a pumpkin and cut off top and clean the inside. Place a head of lettuce inside pumpkin.

Buy skewers wooden sticks and assorted fruits (strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, pineapple). Cut melons into wedges. Cut pineapple into round shapes (or different shapes using cookie cutter).

Put fruit on sticks and stick into lettuce head. Arrange grapes four on a stick. (can cut melon with melon carver and place few on one stick). Arrange fruit on sticks nicely and place into lettuce (in pumpkin) coming out in all different directions.

You can substitute pumpkin with basket, holiday baskets, sled basket (for Christmas) etc. Once all the fruit is in, cover the lettuce with a curly vegetable (escarole or any pretty garnish).
