This game day fruit tray is so easy to make and you can swap the fruit out for what you have on hand. I used peaches, strawberries, blackberries, and apple but it is a versatile dish.

Ingredients needed

ingredients needed to make a game day fruit tray

For this recipe, you will need:

  • Blackberries
  • Strawberries
  • Apple
  • Peaches: I used canned but fresh peaches also work. The can I use was about 15 ounces.

This is a very versatile fruit tray. Use what you have on hand or whatever your favorite fruits are to make this football shaped tray. For example, you could use pear instead of apples or blueberries instead of blackberries.

Equipment needed

You will need a large oval shaped plate.

Recipe instructions

step by step guide on how to assemble a fruit tray that looks like a football

Wash and dry your apple, blackberries, and strawberries. Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut into quarters. Peel your apple and set aside.

Place the strawberries in an oval on your plate and then line the blackberries around them.

Add the peaches around the berries.

Cut thin strips of apples and set them up as the laces for the football.

Variations

  • Try serving a fruit dip on the side. One of my favorites is this copycat Jason’s Deli fruit dip.
  • You can use fresh or canned peaches.
  • Swap the fruits out for what you have on hand.

How to store leftovers

Store any leftovers in your fridge in an airtight container. The fruit will be good for three to four days after cutting.
