Today, table decoration for the holiday has become a real art. Professional chefs, and just ordinary women, constantly come up with something new. At any time of the year, such a dessert dish as a palm tree from fruits will be a great addition to the table. It can be prepared in two versions.
On the plate
A palm tree made of fruits is easy enough, and its preparation does not take much time. It will especially appeal to children who can also help with cooking with pleasure. But most of all, a palm tree is very useful if your child does not want to eat fruit.
First take a long oval dish so that the future landscape looks more realistic. If there is no such cookware, you can use any large flat plate.
So, how is a palm made of fruits on a plate? For cooking, you will need: orange (1 pc.) Or tangerines (2 pc.), Banana (1 pc.) And kiwi (1-2 pc.). First you need to wash and peel all the fruits. Of course, you can not peel a kiwi with oranges. In this case, the dessert will look better, but eating it will not be very convenient.
Palm making
If you decide to take an orange, then it should be cut into circles with a thickness of 5 mm. One of the circles must be set aside in order to later turn it into the sun. The rest should be cut in half. If you took tangerines, then divide one fruit into slices. The second - with a sharp knife, in the middle you need to cut so that the circle comes out (again for the sun). And the remaining slices should be divided into two parts.
Next, let's take a banana. It must be divided into two parts along and put on a dish. It will be palm trunks. If the dish is not quite large, you can cut off the tips. Next, cut the bananas obliquely and slightly move them, giving an inclined position.
Below in the form of scales we lay out an island of oranges or tangerines. Put the sun on top. Palm fruit is almost ready.
Qiwi left. We divide it lengthwise into two parts. Then you can cut them into slices up and down so that the palm leaves are more natural. What do we do next? Now we spread the prepared ingredients on a plate so that we get an image of a palm tree.
Thus, a palm tree made of fruits, the photo of which is presented in the article, is ready for serving. Your guests will be pleasantly surprised.
Unusual fruit tree
This fruit tree is a beautiful and original table decoration for large holidays: weddings, anniversaries, parties, office parties, birthdays. Such an interesting dish gives a feast of originality and unusualness.
So how to make a palm from fruits? It is prepared from pieces of various fruits, which are attached with the help of skewers to a pineapple base simulating a palm tree trunk. Instead of traditional slicing, for large holidays it is better to choose such an interesting way of serving.
Let's start cooking! Immediately decide what height palm fruit you need. A small tree 60 cm high is designed for 20 people and will require 4 small pineapples. The average palm tree (1 meter high) is designed for a table for 35 people. For its manufacture, you need to purchase 7-8 medium-sized pineapples or 5-6 larger fruits. A large tree (1.5 meters) requires 8 large fruits. It is suitable for a table for 60 people.
Fruit palm: step by step
To begin, attach a steel rod of the desired height to the stand. On it you need to string pineapples. When choosing them, consider the fact that the last pineapple must cover the upper end of the stem. Ripe soft fruits are better for a tree. They are easily put on the rod, and fruit skewers are easily attached to them.
Upper and lower parts are cut off from clean and dry pineapples , there is only one with uncut green leaves. It needs to be attached at the top of the palm tree. Narrow through holes are made in the core of all fruits. Next, the resulting elements are strung on a rod.
After the trunk is ready, proceed to the decoration. At the top of the palm tree, you should attach some leaves (artificial or real), not necessarily palm leaves - you can simply pick up leaves that are similar in shape.
The fruits that can decorate a palm tree are diverse. More often grapes, strawberries, kiwi, tangerines, bananas, pears, plums, peaches , etc. are used for this. After all, a multi-colored palm tree made from fruits will look even more interesting.
The selected fruits, of course, need to be washed, dried and cut. Bananas and kiwi - in circles, and peaches, tangerines and apples - in slices. Grapes and strawberries are served whole. Then you need to chop the fruit on skewers or toothpicks and insert into the resulting trunk. You can fasten fruits diagonally, in a circle, in the form of a picture, along the trunk. It is better to arrange the pieces denser so that the pattern looks clear.
You can also make decorations from flowers, fabric, flower garland or something else. So our palm from fruits is ready, a photo of it is presented for clarity in the article.
