Fruit Platter gone wild!

This is how Floridians make a Palm Tree fruit platter! :C




Really easy to make and puts on quite a show at any BBQ or even for inside holiday buffets.
So you Northerners can bring a little sunshine into your winter festivities also! :W

The green leaves are nothing more than palm fronds stuck into the top pineapple and around the fruit plate.

For Christmas we wrap a sting of those tiny lights around the palm tree part.

    we also take a whole water melon and cut in half and add vodka! And then cut in cubes. Just have to warn the grandparents and kiddie's that the 'special' watermelon is off limits! :B

    What is the secret for keeping the pineapple "tree" from falling over?
    Even a dowel rod running through the middle of those pineapples would still need to be attached to a base to keep it upright. So give, what gives it stability?

    Wheels up and ready to cruise. One of my relatives is having to throw an engagement party and I sent them that picture. They loved it and will make one for the main buffet. They're all into palm trees and beaches.
