"How To Use Fresh Fruit for a Centerpiece"
From Coral Nafie, Your Guide to Interior Decorating.
With our easy-to-follow directions, you can make a fresh centerpiece with fruit of your choice.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Varies

Here's How:

Look at your room's or table's color scheme and decide what fruits will look
best. Citrus run yellow, orange, and green. Apples, grapes, persimmon,
pomegranates are reds, purple, and pink. Select a container that will
allow the fruits to show. A clear footed bowl will stand off the table
and the fruits will show through the glass.

A decorative bowl will allow the fruits to show only at the top. You decide
what will be best for your setting. Measure the height and width of the
container. You'll need to buy enough fruit to fill it generously.
Select the chosen fruit at a grocery store or farmer's market. Stick to
inexpensive basics for filling the container.

You might see some unusual fruits that you had not thought of, like star
fruit, kiwi, or mangoes. If there is something interesting that will enhance
your color scheme, buy one or two for accents.
