Recipe Questions & Answers

How do I prevent the fruit from browning?

Toss the cut fruits gently with lemon juice to slow oxidation and keep colors vibrant longer.

Can I use a vegan sweetener instead of honey?

Yes, maple syrup or agave syrup work well as vegan alternatives for a touch of sweetness.

What can I substitute for pretzel sticks in gluten-free versions?

Use decorative toothpicks or gluten-free pretzel sticks to maintain the ornament effect without gluten.

How far in advance can I prepare this fruit blend?

It’s best served fresh but can be chilled for up to 2 hours before arranging on the platter.

Are there any allergen concerns with this fruit medley?

The pretzel sticks may contain gluten; selecting gluten-free options avoids this allergen. Check honey labels if needed.
