Ingredients
2 cups strawberries
1 cup blueberries
4 banana slices
4 apple slices
1/2 cup raspberries
optional: 1/2 tsp lemon juice (for apple slices)
optional: 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for drizzle, if desired)
Instructions
Peel and slice bananas
Peel and slice apples
Wash and hull strawberries
Rinse blueberries
Spread strawberries in a red stripe pattern across a large platter
Place banana slices to form the first white stripe of the flag (alternating with strawberries)
Arrange apple slices adjacent to bananas for the second white stripe
Create circular blue clusters (for flag stars) using blueberries between the red and white stripes
Sprinkle raspberries into the red stripes for added color and contrast
Optional: Drizzle honey or maple syrup as a sweet accent
Serve immediately or refrigerate to enhance flavor
Notes
Strawberries maintain best color when chilled beforehand.
Rasberries and blueberries freeze well; thaw frozen fruit for a different texture.
Use seasonal white fruits like peaches if bananas/apples are unavailable.
Cover refrigerated tray with plastic wrap to prevent cross-contamination. Consume within 8 hours.
For easier shaping, use cookie cutters or a pastry scraper to define flag patterns.
