I’m going to show you all my tips and tricks below, so keep scrolling!
How to Make a USA Fruit Platter
The secret to this project being so easy is cookie cutters! And, you need your favorite red white and blue fruits, too!
Ingredients for a Patriotic Fruit Platter
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Watermelon
- Pears
Tools Needed for a Red, White and Blue Fruit Platter
- Star-Shaped Cookie Cutters – These were the exact ones I purchased on Amazon. I use them all summer long! They’re actually biscuit cutters, but I love that they are very deep. Some cookie cutters are way too shallow to cut fruit if it’s not sliced thin enough.
- Wilton Cookie Cutter Set – I use this for all occasions! In this recipe, I used the letters to spell out USA in watermelon.
Instructions for a USA Fruit Platter
First, cut three triangles of watermelon. Cut out a star from each one with the smallest star cookie cutter. Place the watermelon wedges on the platter.
Next, cut out a U, S, and A from watermelon and place the letters on the platter. Fill in all the spaces with the red and blue fruit. Lastly, cut pears in slices and cut out stars from them with a cookie cutter. Place the white pear stars on top of the red and blue fruit. And, place the smaller stars inside the stars you cut in the watermelon slices.
That’s it! That’s all you have to do. I love this look because it’s SO festive, but it’s also so quick to create. This would be lovely at your own patriotic party or a hit if you bring it to a gathering someone else is hosting!
