Cornucopia Centerpiece

How to make an Edible Cornucopia

Ingredients:

1 cantaloupe
1/2 cup blueberries
1 pomegranate
1 small bunch grapes
1 plum
12 waffle-style sugar cones

Directions to make your sugar cone cornucopias:

Slice cantaloupe thin and remove skin.

Now slice plums thin, leaving skin.

Remove seeds from pomegranate – my favorite way to do this is to cut in half and then hold over a bowl.

Smack the end and edges of the pomegranate with a wooden spoon and it will release all of the seeds quickly.

Assemble the cornucopias by placing all waffle cones in a pyramid to start with. Insert the cantaloupe and plum slices first, then add in the grapes, blueberries and pomegranate seeds where you can fit them in.

Jolly Rancher Coated Apples

Kids love this one! Send everyone home a dipped apple in none other than jolly ranchers. They look gorgeous and are a bit more creative than regular candied applies.

Quinoa and Veggie Gratin

Can’t have all these sweets without some veggies! You won’t even mind when it comes to how this is presented. Tasty and makes a stunning side dish.

Easy Apple Crisp

Sometimes a person just needs their apple crisp to come together a little faster. I’m excited to share this quick hack with you!

The best – maybe the only – way to share this pie is to serve it warm with some vanilla ice cream. Drizzle on some toppings, the more the merrier!

Cornucopia Centerpiece Supplies

It is so easy to make these table centerpieces and you only need a few things! You can find your fruit at the local farmers market. I buy most of my kitchen supplies from Amazon. I find that a serving tray will help keep fruit juices off your table, so its good to have one of those on hand. As tempting as it is to build your horn of plenty on the table itself, its probably impractical unless you are using a table cloth. Second, I dont know where its been all my life, but having a chopper really helps! I really love this Multiquick Immersion 9, but you can use anything to make this less work.
