Today, we will tell you how you can please your loved ones in an unusual way - by making a festive tree with fruit.
How to make a Christmas tree from fruits with your own hands?
Even children can make a fruit tree, because there is nothing difficult about it. The main thing is to prepare many different fruits that will decorate our creation. And so, let’s prepare the materials and ingredients we need:
Carrot
Toothpicks
Fruits for decoration
Well, if everything is ready, we can get started!
1. We take an apple and cut off the bottom part so that it is stable on the dish, because it will be our base.
3. Now we take toothpicks and begin to insert them into the apple and carrot, making a tree out of toothpicks from our base.
4. When the base is ready, we can fill it with fruit. It is advisable to use fruits that do not spoil very quickly and do not lose their appearance (for example, bananas turn black).
Here's what we get:
Our Christmas tree is ready!
Preparation
First, prepare all the ingredients and equipment needed according to the step-by-step photo recipe. Without them, creating a Christmas tree at home is unlikely to be possible.
Now we need to deal with the pineapple. Cut off the ends of the fruit (as in the photo).
From one end of the pineapple, cut a circle up to one centimeter thick. Take a cookie cutter (ideally metal) to cut out the dough and use it to make a neat star. In its absence, you need to act with a sharp knife.
Place the wider end of the pineapple on a cutting board. You need to cut off a little pulp from the top so that the pineapple takes the shape of a cone. Don’t throw away the pieces, we will attach them to our tree a little later.
Take a pear and wash it thoroughly. Dry the vegetable and cut off the bottom part (as in the photo). Then pull out the tail.
Using a wooden skewer, you need to attach the pear to the narrower part of the pineapple.
Now, using toothpicks, you need to attach the pineapple star to the top of the pear. Next, insert toothpicks into both the pineapple and the pear. Later we will hang “Christmas tree decorations” on them.
Now you need to take care of the ingredients for the toys. Peel tangerines and kiwis, wash and dry. Cut the kiwi into cubes and divide the tangerines into slices. The strawberries need to be washed, dried, and the ends removed. Cut the berries into two or four parts depending on size. Raspberries, blackberries and blueberries need to be washed and dried. Now everything is ready for decoration.
All that remains is to string the “toys” onto the base for the Christmas tree. Try to make the Christmas tree bright and impressive. It will turn out very beautiful. As you can see, making an original decoration for the New Year’s table with your own hands at home is quite simple if you follow the recommendations of the step-by-step photo recipe. The result is a wonderful, beautiful fruit tree that will pleasantly surprise both guests and household members. Bon appetit!
To create an appetizing fruit tree, you will definitely need pineapple and pear. All other ingredients are a matter of taste. You can give preference to the options proposed in the step-by-step photo recipe or use others that your household loves.
Any holiday is an opportunity to realize your creative ideas, because it is very important not only to prepare delicious food, but also to decorate the room and even the table where guests will gather. Today we will talk about how a fruit tree is created. Step-by-step instructions will allow you to follow the rules exactly and prepare a dish that will become a bright decoration for your table.
Relevant not only on New Year's holidays
Someone will decide that it is only suitable for the New Year's table. However, such a Christmas tree can complement any event, and the fruits that will be arranged in a certain composition will look much more interesting and tastier. By the way, such decorations were used back in ancient times, when the tables were simply bursting with the number of dishes. Today, assorted fruits in the form of various shapes and compositions are an excellent opportunity to decorate, realize your design skills and delight guests with the beauty of the decoration.
How to make a Christmas tree from fruits?
To perform carving, we will need to prepare products. We will make a Christmas tree from a large apple, carrots, two flowers, kiwi, marmalade or gelatin figures. So, the first step is to prepare the ingredients: first you need to wash them, then peel them. You need to remove the top of the apple, and you also need to cut out all the seeds. Remember that the more thoroughly you prepare the apple, the more secure the base of your Christmas tree will be.
At the next stage, we begin work on the carrots. It will act as the trunk of our Christmas tree, so we need to try to give it the appropriate look. By the way, if you want your fruit tree to be tall, choose plump and large carrots. Using large toothpicks or wooden skewers, we secure the carrots to the base apple. For structural reliability, it is better to use several fastening elements.
Let's get to the branches
To create a frame for our tabletop Christmas tree beauty, you need to stick the trunk well and tightly with toothpicks. To achieve maximum similarity, you need to leave the lower branches long and the upper branches short.
To make the branches you need to prepare fruits, namely kiwi and grapes. Kiwi should be cut into slices, and when working with ripe fruits, you need to cut them thicker - this will help maintain their shape. But first, you need to liberally string grapes onto each toothpick, and you can combine green and red berries - thanks to this, our fruit tree will look very voluminous. How can I make it look voluminous? For this we will use kiwi slices. You need to string the kiwi onto toothpicks in a chaotic manner. This is a very careful process as the fruit may spread. Therefore, you should act extremely carefully. What kind of fruit tree would be complete without a star on the top? In our recipe it will be edible and healthy, because we will make it from cheese. It is best to take hard varieties, preferably without holes. We cut out a star from the cheese for the top of the head, as well as various toys that will complement our tasty and healthy beauty. At the last stage, you need to decorate the Christmas tree with the remaining fruits and berries.
Easier Recipes
Of course, not everyone wants to string fruit and spend their time on it. There are simpler recipes that allow you to create equally beautiful edible compositions for the table. For example, you can lay out a beautiful Christmas tree in a suitable triangular shape. Grapes are suitable as the bottom layer, maybe even red. The branches will imitate long pieces of apple, and strawberries, currants or other round berries can be placed as a garland. You can use a pineapple to create a star.
Christmas trees made from fruits and vegetables
Today it is very popular to decorate a holiday table using carving - the art of cutting out various figures and shapes using special knives. For lovers of not only fruits, but also vegetables, we can suggest creating a corresponding Christmas tree. For this we will need the following products: cauliflower and broccoli, carrots, bell peppers of different colors and grapes. Using broccoli and cauliflower inflorescences, we will create an incredibly voluminous Christmas tree that will look very lush. We again use carrots as a trunk, to which we attach pieces of different cabbage. We decorate the remaining tips of the skewers with grapes and berries, for example, strawberries or currants. The crown of our Christmas tree will be a star cut from the same cheese. By the way, it should correspond to the size of the tree: that is, it should not be too small or too large, and therefore heavy.
Symmetry and conciseness
How to make a fruit tree that will look neat and harmonious? To do this, you can simply alternate layers of decoration in a certain order. For example, we traditionally create a Christmas tree from an apple, carrots, pieces of pumpkin and zucchini, and also decorate it with berries - grapes, strawberries, currants. We cut out the core of the apple, into which we then tightly insert the peeled carrots (this will be the trunk of our design). We place toothpicks on it symmetrically, resulting in a neat composition. All that’s left to do is decorate it. To do this, you can alternate layers: red currants, yellow pumpkin, green grapes, and so on several times. We will get a very beautiful and harmonious Christmas tree.
Maximum fantasy
Not a single holiday table is complete without fruit. But it’s one thing to simply put them on a plate, and another thing to create a beautiful composition. An example of this is the “Herringbone” fruit salad made from pineapples. By the way, it looks simply amazing: it seems that the branches are decorated with peculiar candelabra made of fruit. To prepare this fabulous dish we will need the following products: large pineapple, watermelon, kiwi, cranberries, bananas, raspberries, melon, grapes, blueberries. As you can see, all the ingredients are not only bright, but also very exotic, especially for a winter holiday. This salad will definitely not go unnoticed!
Tasty and beautiful!
So, you need to peel and wash all the fruits and berries. The basis of the Christmas tree will be a peeled pineapple - wooden skewers will be attached to it. We begin to attach the diced fruit to the skewers. By the way, the banana must first be dipped in lemon so that it does not turn black. When stringing, you should first use even cubes of bananas and apples, and decorate the edges of the skewers with berries. To create a snow effect, you can use a spray of whipped cream to decorate the base of the pineapple. This salad will turn out very beautiful and impressive; it will be an excellent decoration for your New Year's table.
As you can see, there are many possibilities for creating a fruit tree. Some people use traditional fruits, which are always in the refrigerator, while others will prefer a more original and expensive solution. But it is worth remembering that the main thing is imagination, and therefore, if desired, any dish can be presented in a completely new light. After all, as you know, food should not only be tasty and healthy, but also beautiful. Be creative, open up your creativity, and you will see how easy it is to surprise your guests.
If you want to surprise your guests with unusual decorations on the holiday table, then such a Christmas tree will come in handy. Do you want, but don’t know how to make a fruit tree for the New Year 2019? Then this option is just what you need. In addition, it will not only decorate your table, but when the time comes, you can eat it.

Cooking steps
Prepare the fruit. Take all the fruits with which you decided to decorate the Christmas tree and wash them thoroughly. Carefully inspect all berries and set aside damaged ones.
Fruits need to be peeled. Peel kiwi, tangerine, pineapple. Divide the tangerine into slices, and cut the fruits that need to be chopped into small squares.
Using curly knives, make “decorations” for the future Christmas tree. Stars and hearts can be cut, for example, from pineapples.
Place all the prepared fruits on different plates. Place the fruit figurines in a separate container.
Now let's move on to making the trunk of our Christmas tree. For this we need an apple, long carrots and toothpicks. Take an apple and cut it on one side so that the Christmas tree is stable.
On the other side, cut a recess of such a diameter that the carrots can fit tightly into it without wobbling.
Place the apple cut side down on a plate and insert the carrot into the top hole.
Take toothpicks and insert them into the apple, not too tightly to each other, so that the fruits that we will string on them are freely located on the Christmas tree and do not interfere with each other.
Break half of them in half: we will insert short toothpicks into the carrots.
This is the preparation we have for stringing fruit.
Start stringing the previously prepared fruits onto the future Christmas tree from the bottom up. Place large fruits first, and empty spaces can be filled with grapes or kiwi pieces. Make sure that the color palette is evenly distributed throughout the tree. There is no need to sculpt three strawberries or just white grapes next to each other. The tips of the toothpicks that stick out from the fruit can be hidden behind a currant or blueberry.
Take a melon, cut it in half and use a metal cutter to cut out stars or other shapes you have. Place the star on top of the fruit tree.
This is the beauty you should get! You can put mini-gifts under the Christmas tree for guests and children. There will be no limit to the admiration for such an edible Christmas tree. Happy New Year holidays!
Bon appetit!
