When it comes to finger food desserts a fruit platter is one of the easiest and tastiest . Cut any fruit you like into mouthful size pieces. Include grapes, watermelon, honeydew melon, peaches, apricots (fresh or dried), dates,nuts or cheeses.
Some fruit is more likely to discolour than others. Apples, pears and bananas are notorious for this. If you want to use these fruits in your platter soak them in lemon juice first. This helps to preserve their colour.
Make up your fruit platter in a plastic dish with a lid to take so it is easy to carry.
