Cooking Questions
- → How do I prevent the fruit from browning?
To keep apple and pear slices fresh, lightly brush them with lemon juice or soak briefly in citrus water before arranging.
- → Can I prepare this fruit board in advance?
Yes, assemble the board and refrigerate covered for up to 2 hours to maintain freshness and presentation.
- → What substitutions can I make for the dip?
For a vegan option, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and drizzle with maple syrup instead of honey.
- → Are cranberries safe to eat raw here?
Cranberries used here are for garnish only due to their tartness and are not meant for eating raw.
- → Which fruits complement the seasonal berries?
Fruits like kiwi, apple, pear, grapes, and pomegranate arils add texture and flavor diversity to the berry arrangement.
