Christmas dinner centrepiece for the table… what could be better than an edible fruit christmas tree? It’s so easy to put together and you can use your favourite fruit and for dessert maybe dip the fruit in a chocolate fondue….

To start get and apple and a pear and cut the tops and bottoms off to make a flat surface and to that the top of the pear is standing straight. Anchor them together with toothpicks. Add toothpicks around the apple and pear, this is how the fruit will be anchored.

Keep adding fruit until the tree is as full as you want it to be. To make the star at the top use a star cookie cutter or if you don’t have one just cut one out free form with a knife.

Some ideas of fruit include:

• Strawberry
• Blueberry
• Seedless Watermelon
• Cantaloupe
• Apples
• Raspberries
• Blackberries
• Oranges
• Grapes
