Fruit Selection

Method

Fruit Selection

  1. 1

    Wash and prepare fruit

    Rinse grapes, strawberries, blueberries and apple under cool running water. Pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel.

  2. 2

    Hull and slice strawberries

    Remove the green tops from the strawberries and slice each berry in half (or quarters if large) so they are easy for kids to pick up.

  3. 3

    Slice banana and apple

    Peel the banana and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Core the apple and cut into thin slices or wedges appropriate for a child's bite size.

  4. 4

    Segment orange

    Peel the orange and separate into segments. Remove any large pith pieces so segments are tidy and easy to eat.

For Serving

  1. 5

    Prevent browning

    Lightly brush or toss the apple slices and banana slices with the lemon juice (about 1 tsp total) to slow browning. Use just enough to coat surfaces.

  2. 6

    Assemble plate

    Arrange the fruit on a small plate or divided kids plate: place grapes in a small cluster, strawberries in one section, banana and apple slices in another, orange segments and blueberries in remaining spaces. Make the arrangement colorful and varied so it’s appealing to children.

  3. 7

    Add optional items

    If using, stir the honey into the plain yogurt and place the yogurt in a small dipping cup on the plate. Garnish the plate with a couple of small mint leaves if desired.

  4. 8

    Serve immediately for best freshness and texture. Keep leftover cut fruit refrigerated in an airtight container and consume within 24 hours.
