Kiwi Christmas tree

1 Thinly peel kiwifruit skin to leave as much kiwifruit flesh intact. Slice kiwifruit vertically in half.

2 Cut a thick triangle from each kiwifruit half.

3 Carefully insert a skewer through the wide base of 1 kiwifruit triangle then through the wide base of the other kiwifruit triangle. Leave a small amount of the skewer sticking out of the top (to attach star).

4 Cut out an apricot star using a cookie cutter or carefully, use a knife. Push star through the top of kiwifruit skewer.

5 Add dates to the base of pot for ‘soil’. Push kiwifruit skewer through the centre of dates and secure.

6 Brush kiwifruit with a little lemon juice and secure blueberry decorations. Place pot on a small plate.

7 Cut red fruit into present shapes and scatter around pot.

8 Use long-thread desiccated coconut as tinsel and sprinkle other desiccated coconut onto plate as snow. Tie ribbon around pot for decoration.
