How To Make A Strawberry Christmas Tree
Impress family and friends this holiday season with this easy to make Strawberry Christmas Tree. No cooking required!
Equipment
- Crafting Cone - I used the 3.8 in x 11.9 in
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- Florida Strawberries
- Romaine lettuce or another leafy green
Instructions
- Prep the strawberries - rinse and allow to dry thoroughly.
- Unwrap the packaging from the crafting cone.
- Cut the center out of the romaine (the white part). That way you are left with the tender leafy part.
- Wrap the pieces of lettuce around the cone. I started front right to left and used a toothpick to hold the ends in place.
- Once the cone is covered in the lettuce, start adding toothpicks. We spaced ours about 1 in apart and worked in a circular direction from bottom to top.
- Once the toothpicks are in, start adding the prepared strawberries. Be careful not to poke the toothpick all the way through the strawberry.
- Fill in any empty spots with extra toothpicks and strawberries.
- I used Pearl Strawberries for the top of my Strawberry Christmas Tree.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
- As friends and family eat the strawberries from your tree, be sure to replace them!
