Recipe ingredients

• 5 or more kinds of fresh and/or canned fruit, including lychees or rambutan, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, bananas, pineapple, and mango (if you use banana, make fairly large slices, cutting on the slant)
• Fresh limes for garnish
• 1 can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed (*)

(*) You will have extra limeade concentrate with this recipe. Mix the remaining limeade concentrate with water as directed on the can and serve as a drink.

How to make thai holiday fruit platter

• Choose a large platter, one that is big enough to hold a generous amount of fruit.
• In the center of the platter, make a pile of lychees or rambutan.
• Divide the platter into sections using pieces of peeled and sliced watermelon about 1 inch wide and 3 or 4 inches long to mark the sections. Cut all the remaining fruit into chunks. If you have a melon baller, scoop the flesh of one of the melons into balls for contrast.
• Fill in the sections using a different fruit in each for a pretty pattern.
• Cut limes into thin wedges. Fit the lime wedges around the outer edge of the platter to create a ruffle effect.
• Pour 1/3 cup limeade concentrate into a 1-cup measuring cup and stir in 1/3 cup water. Using a pastry brush, brush the limeade mixture over the fruit. It will make the fruit shiny and will keep the banana from turning brown.

Preparation time: 30 to 40 minutes
Serves 8 to 10
