Serve fruits on the table so that they would like to eat and they did not remain after the holiday in integrity and safety, it becomes increasingly difficult. Standard fruit plates do not attract the attention of guests, so you have to use your imagination to create new forms of serving.

- - fruits and berries to your taste.
Instruction manual
1
Carefully select the fruit. When going to the store for the contents of a future basket, carefully consider what you want to see in it. It is important to take into account the fact that not all fruits can withstand several hours in the heat, especially in a cut form.
2
Take the basket of the size you need and start filling it. The main thing is that it should not be too deep, otherwise you will have to pile the fruits in a pile at the bottom.
3
From below lay out those fruits that do not need to be cut. These can be bananas (it is better to take the Mini variety, which does not need to be divided into parts, which will leave them fresh and not darkened much longer), small apples, peaches, pears and tangerines.
4
The upper part must be laid according to some pattern so that the fruit does not look randomly. For example, lay them out in circles or divide the area of the basket into sections. Cut kiwi, mango, melon and any other fruit to your taste (you can take those that are already hidden in the lower layer). Put them in a basket and examine it, a little stepping aside. From afar it will be better to see which ones need to be slightly shifted or altogether shifted.
5
Garnish the fruits with berries. Take some varieties of berries and sprinkle them directly on top of the fruit. It is not necessary to observe the order; let them bring a piece of disharmony.
6
Decorate the handle of the basket. Take sewing threads to match her, tear a few bunches of grapes into small twigs. Attach them to the handle and neatly tie them to the branches. The grapes should fit snugly and hold tight. Your guests will be able to pick berries directly from the handle of the basket.
note
If you decide to serve sliced fruits, then they should be cut no more than half an hour before the guests arrive. Otherwise, they will secrete juice, and the appearance of the basket will be spoiled.
Useful advice
You can decorate the fruit basket with fresh flowers. It is important to choose varieties that can withstand several hours without water, or insert them into transparent small-sized cones filled with liquid (you can find them in flower shops).
