Default Healthy party treat / centerpiece

If you're like me (and I know I am), it's tough to know what to bring to a party that will be healthy, festive, and popular with the other guests. It's even harder when the party in question is for a bunch of 8-year olds! This year, I made a Christmas tree out of a pineapple top, apple, and dried fruit, and used it as the centerpiece for a fruit platter:



It's really easy -- it took maybe an hour, and that's because I was multitasking while stringing cranberries. Complete instructions are on my blog post today.

Happy holidays, everyone!

b. strong,
KAW

Oh that is just awesome Kim! I will steal your idea in the future - especially since I'm known for my pineapples, because I've got 5 pineapple plants that I rooted from tops sitting on my porch, and have also passed "pineapple babies" to many gardener friends. How creative, and healthy!
