It’s no secret that fruit is good for you! Even though fruit has lots of sugar, it’s all-natural sugar with lots of fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are so beneficial.

It doesn’t just look festive, it’s filled to the brim with nutritious fruit.

Fruits To Use For A Fruit Plater

What are the best types of fruit to add to a fruit platter?

Even though it’s ok to use any type of fruit, some will display better and last longer than others.

For example, fresh apples might turn brown (unless you brush them with lemon juice!).

This is the fruit I used on my fruit platter:

  • Red grapes
  • Watermelon, sliced
  • Pineapple
  • Cantaloupe
  • Kiwi
  • Mango
  • Strawberries
  • Raspberries
  • Blueberries
  • Blackberries

You don’t have to use all of them, but those are the types of fruit that display the best on a fruit platter.

Remember, you can use any type of fruit that you want.

Just make sure you prepare the fruit so they don’t turn brown when exposed to the air.

Is It Cheaper To Make Or Buy A Fruit Tray?

It’s definitely cheaper to make your own fruit tray versus buying one that is already made. This is especially true if you purchase your fruit in bulk at places like Sam’s Club or Costco.

Plus, you can usually find fantastic cutting boards and serving platters for really low prices at thrift shops.

How To Make A Party Fruit Platter

The fun thing about making platters and charcuterie boards is that there is a ton of room for creativity! You don’t have to follow my directions – make them in whatever design that you want.

Even so, there are still some steps you’ll need to follow, no matter how you make your platter look.

Start by placing the small bowls where you want them on the board. Then, fill the bowls with whip cream and honey (and other dipping sauces that you like).

Then, place the largest pieces of fruit as the centerpiece.

Keep adding more fruit, making sure to place them close together and filling in any empty spots so it’s perfectly full.

Fill up any white spaces with small pieces of fruit, like raspberries and blueberries.

You can also add things like fresh parsley or mint leaves for garnish.
