Step 1:

Peel the oranges and separate them into segments. Carefully remove any seeds and as much pith as possible.

Step 2:

On a large round serving plate arrange the orange segments in a circle to form the clock face.

Step 3:

Place 12 grapes at even intervals around the circle to mark the hours pressing them gently between the orange segments.

Step 4:

Use two longer grapes (or two orange segments) at the center as the clocks hands pointing to your desired time (e.g. 10:10 for visual appeal).

Step 5:

If desired scatter fresh mint leaves around the platter for extra color and aroma.

Step 6:

Serve immediately chilled if preferred.

Recipe Questions & Answers

→ How do I prevent the orange segments from becoming too juicy when arranged?

Remove as much pith and seeds as possible and pat segments dry gently with a paper towel before arranging to avoid excess juice pooling.

→ Can I substitute the grapes with other fruits?

Yes, blueberries or raspberries can be used to maintain color contrast and size suitable for hour markers.

→ What is the best type of plate for arranging this platter?

A large, round serving plate works best to mimic the clock shape and give enough space for neat placement of fruit pieces.

→ How long can the fruit platter be stored before serving?

It’s best served immediately but can be chilled for up to 2 hours wrapped with plastic to preserve freshness.
