4th of July Fruit Flag
This festive and simple dessert is ideal for a patriotic celebration. It requires minimal preparation and is best assembled just before your event. You will need strawberries, blackberries and bananas, with lemon juice to prevent browning. The fruit is arranged on a large tray to create the appearance of the American flag. Serve it with toothpicks and a dip if you like. The whole process takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Ingredients
- 29 large strawberries
- 30 large blackberries
- 7 large bananas (or more-enough to make 58 slices)
- lemon juice
Method
- Prepare 29 large strawberries by removing the hulls and cutting them in half.
- Place 30 large blackberries in the top left section of a serving tray that measures at least 8 by 13 inches.
- Slice 7 large bananas to yield 58 pieces, each 3/4-inch-thick, into a bowl. Add lemon juice and mix carefully with a spatula to coat.
- Lay out the banana slices in lines to form the flag's stripes, then place a strawberry half on every slice.
