Print Recipe

A quick and festive fruit tray that turns clementines into mini pumpkins, grapes into vines, and kiwi into leaves. Perfect for fall gatherings, school parties, or Thanksgiving appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10–12 clementines
  • 2 cups green grapes
  • 3–4 kiwi
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 pear (optional)
  • 4–6 pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Peel all clementines, keeping segments intact. Set aside.
  2. Rinse green grapes and pat dry. Leave 4-5 grapes attached to a small piece of stem for vine clusters; separate the rest.
  3. Peel kiwis and slice into 1/4-inch rounds, then cut each round in half to create half-moon leaves.
  4. If using a pear, slice it in half lengthwise, then cut one half into thin, fan-shaped slices for a scarecrow. Use pretzel sticks as post and arms, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  5. On a large platter, arrange clementines in a loose cluster in the center. Trail grape vines around them. Scatter kiwi leaves around the base and along vines. Sprinkle blueberries around edges.
  6. Press 4-5 pretzel sticks into the fruit at the back or side to create a fence, or lay them flat at the edge.
  7. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth. Place bowl in the center or off to one side of the tray.
  8. Fill any empty gaps with extra grapes or kiwi slices. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.

Notes

Assemble up to 4 hours before serving. Keep covered in fridge. Add pretzel sticks just before serving to prevent sogginess. Brush pear slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. For vegan option, use dairy-free yogurt.
