Ingredients
- 2 medium kiwis
- 2 medium apples
- 1 medium pear
- 1 medium banana
- Small bunch of grapes - approx. 100g / 3½ oz.
- ½ punnet of strawberries - approx. 100g / 3½ oz.
- 6 large oranges - 1 per person
- 1 x 125g pot of low-fat fruit yoghurt
- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
Method
- Peel the banana and the kiwis
- Chop up kiwis, apples, pears, bananas, grapes into small pieces
- Sprinkle the lemon juice over the fruit salad to prevent it turning brown, store in fridge for later
To make the ‘pumpkin’:
- Allow one large orange per person and wash under running water
- The adult should take a sharp knife and cut the top off the orange so it looks like a small pumpkin with its lid off
- Carefully cut around the inside making sure not to damage the outer skin and remove what you can of the flesh; while still having it keep its shape. Put the removed orange in a bowl off to the side
- For fun give the empty ‘carved out’ skins to the children. Using the cake decoration pen allow them to carefully draw on a pumpkin face on to the side of the orange
- Gently set aside and allow to dry
- Juice half of the removed orange flesh and chop up the other half into smaller pieces and add into the fruit salad, pour the orange juice over and mix fruit
- Fill the ‘pumpkins’ with the fruit salad and replace their top
- Add a small spoonful of yogurt just before eating
