Fruit Gobbler

This is a great appetizer for Thanksgiving. I did this a couple years ago and was surprised at how easy it was. Plus, the kids loved it (what's not to love about cheese and grapes)! So CUTE!


1 Melon
bamboo skewers
Bosc Pear
Cheddar Cheese
Red Grapes
Red,yellow, orange Bell Pepper (1 of each)
raisins
toothpicks

Stabilize the melon body by cutting a shallow slice off the rind to form a flat base. Using a section of the skewers, attach the pear head to the melon, as shown. Cut a cheese triangle bead and red pepper snood. Attach both, along with raisin eyes, to the head sections with toothpicks. Cut red pepper feet and them in place. For tail feathers, skewer cheese and grapes then insert skewers as shown. Pin pepper side feathers in place with toothpicks.
