Make Your Table Shine! Orange Fruit Flower Plating for Special Occasions
Even though oranges aren’t in season, let’s create a beautiful fruit platter that will elevate your special occasions with their sweet aroma. You can also use apples or other seasonal fruits instead of oranges to craft stunning arrangements. Simple tips make it easy for anyone to follow!
Ingredients- 5 Oranges
- Strawberries (for decoration) – as needed
- Green grapes, red grapes (for decoration) – as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully slice off the very top of each orange, about 1 cm, to create a flat surface. This will help the orange stand upright later and prepare it for petal creation.
Step 2
To make peeling easier, make vertical cuts about 5 cm deep from the top of the orange down towards the base, spacing them about 5 cm apart. Be careful to only cut through the peel, not deep into the fruit. This scoring helps in removing the peel neatly.
Step 3
Gently peel off the scored sections of the orange rind. Then, cut each peeled orange in half. This provides a good base shape for forming the flower petals.
Step 4
Now, thinly slice each orange half crosswise, aiming for delicate, translucent ‘petals.’ The thinner you slice, the more natural and beautiful the flower will look. A sharp knife is key here!
Step 5
For the center of the flower, take one of the orange halves and slice it slightly thicker, about 1 cm. Fold this thicker slice in half, then roll it up tightly like a sushi roll. This will form the core of your orange flower. Stand it upright.
Step 6
Carefully arrange the thinly sliced orange ‘petals’ around the rolled-up central piece. You can gently fan them out or overlap them slightly to create a fuller blossom effect.
Step 7
Repeat the process of thinly slicing oranges and assembling them to create multiple orange flowers. Experiment with different ways of folding or curling the thin slices to achieve varied petal shapes.
Step 8
Arrange the finished orange flowers on your serving plate. Overlap the petals slightly as you place them around the plate to create a beautiful floral arrangement. Think of it as creating a garden of orange blossoms.
Step 9
Decorate the spaces around the orange flowers with fresh strawberries and grapes. If there are still gaps on the plate, take a remaining half-orange, slice it thinly, and arrange these pieces to fill in any empty spots naturally.
Step 10
And there you have it! Your stunning orange fruit flower platter is complete. This beautiful and aromatic fruit art will surely bring smiles and add a touch of elegance to your special meal.
