Something that has become popular and have been sold in bakeries and internet sites, are the famous fruit bouquets. The truth is that I always wanted to do one and, while not rocket science, knew how to make them.
last week visiting FM forum post I found at last going to help me fulfill my desire. Thanks to Jose and his blog, Art in the kitchen, I learned to make this really easy, beautiful and chilly bouquet I want to share with you.

Ingredients
(10 people)
1 pineapple honey
200 grs. strawberries, washed and disinfected
1
Chinese cantaloupe or honey dew melon 1 or green
150 grs. red globe grapes (preferably seedless), washed and disinfected
1 cos lettuce leaves
Italian, washed and disinfected
lemon juice (to put that part of the sticks where it will be nailed the fruit and avoid rust)
chocolate skewers
cutter shaped cookie
flower basket or container where it will present the bouquet
Preparation
1. First you have to peel the pineapple and then cut into slices of 1.5 - 2 cm. After using the cutter, we cut each slice into a flower shape. Book.
2. From Chinese melon in half and remove seeds. A half is going to remove the shell and will leave on 8. The other will be used to make balls (using the special tool for that I do not remember his name). Do the same with honeydew melon. Book.
3. Each of the flowers of pineapples are going to stick a skewer stick right in the center to drive over the yellow melon ball simulating pollen.
4. Make skewers interspersed Chinese melon balls and green (for 3 or 4) and the bits that are reserved.
5. Go put the skewers on a piece of Styrofoam.
6. Grapes to make skewers with 4 or 5.
7. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and dip the tip of all the strawberries are washed and sanitized before, stuck on the part of the tail in the sticks. Insert into the Styrofoam to dry.
8. If desired, dip a part of the cones in chocolate too. Let dry in Styrofoam.
9. Take romaine and accommodate it in the basket or where they will submit. If it is too deep will have to put two. Should look like mound with a bump out of the basket.
10. Arrange lettuce leaves covering Italian and simulating the other lettuce leaves (this is the foliage of our bouquet).
11. Go digging sticks skewer in shaping lettuce and trying not to see the sticks.
12. Refrigerate until serving time.
can serve it with chocolate fondue or chamoy and each diner submerge the fruit to taste.
is ideal as a centerpiece for events or breakfast, as well as for gifts.
