Tip of the Day – Fruit Shapes

Looking for a unique way to keep punch or sangria cold? Use fruit shapes! Not only are they fun to eat they are practical because they won’t dilute your beverage. Let’s use a pineapple as an example. Slice the top and bottom off a pineapple and then slice off the skin. Slice pineapple into 1 inch slices. Using metal cookie cutters cut out shapes…flowers, geometric shapes, stars (perfect for July 4) and more. You could use hands for a baby shower for example. Freeze the pineapple to float in your punch or sangria to keep it chilled.

In addition, you could add shaped fruit to a fruit tray or pack in your child’s lunch as a fun surprise!
