Fruit Platter for Easter
Description
It's suitable both for a holiday and for everyday. In the recipe, I used an ordinary thin knife, a cookie cutter, and a channeling knife. If you don't have such a knife, don't worry—the grooves can be made on the orange with any sharp object, even a can lid (just fold it in half). It can be served warm or chilled.

Feel the mandarin with your fingers and try to determine how the segments are arranged. With a sharp knife, cut the mandarin peel into 8 sections, only halfway through the peel. Try not to cut into the segments themselves.

Open the tangerine's "petals." When you see the segments, separate them and arrange them in the shape of a partially open flower.

Peel the banana. Take a thin sharp knife and make zigzag cuts, working your way around in a circle. Then simply remove the resulting bell-shaped pieces.

The final touch is garnishing with berries—it’s optional, but the fruit platter looks more festive with them.
