Ingredients
– 6 medium oranges
– 1 cup strawberries, diced
– 1 cup pineapple, diced
– 1 cup grapes, halved
– 1 banana, sliced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning)
– 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
– ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
Creating Jack-o’-Lantern Orange Fruit Cups is straightforward. Follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Oranges: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the top of each orange to create a lid. Hollow out the inside by scooping out the pulp and juice with a spoon, reserving it for another use.
2. Cut the Facial Features: With the knife, carve jack-o’-lantern faces into the hollowed oranges. Keep it simple with triangle eyes and a jagged mouth for the classic look.
3. Prepare the Fruit: In a large bowl, mix together the diced strawberries, pineapple, halved grapes, and sliced banana.
4. Add Flavor: Drizzle the fruit mixture with lemon juice and honey or agave syrup. Add cinnamon if desired. Toss gently to combine and coat the fruits evenly.
5. Fill the Oranges: Spoon the fruit mixture into each hollowed-out orange, filling them generously.
6. Replace the Lids: After filling the oranges with fruit, place the lids back on.
7. Chill (Optional): For an extra refreshing treat, refrigerate the filled cups for about 30 minutes before serving.
8. Serve: Arrange the Jack-o’-Lantern Orange Fruit Cups on a platter for presentation.
