- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1/2 cup dried figs
- 1/2 cup dried mango slices
- 1/2 cup Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries
- 1/2 cup roasted almonds
- 1/2 cup salted cashews
- 1/2 cup pistachios in shell or shelled
- 1/2 cup glazed pecans or walnuts
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate-covered almonds or espresso beans
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs for garnish
Select Your Tray: Choose a sturdy wooden tray or a reusable gift box that has compartments. If you don’t have one, use small cupcake liners to separate the ingredients.
Arrange the Fruits: Start with dried fruits by placing them in small clusters according to their type. Begin with apricots, then add dates, figs, mango slices, and cranberries.
Add the Nuts: Next, place the nuts into the compartments or around the edges of the fruits—group almonds, cashews, pistachios, and glazed pecans creatively for a beautiful visual.
Add Indulgent Treats: Now for a little luxury! Scatter a few dark chocolate-covered almonds or gold foil-wrapped chocolates around the tray to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Final Touches: Tuck in fragrant rosemary or thyme sprigs for an herbaceous note, and if you’re feeling fancy, add edible flowers for an extra special touch.
Cover and Store: If you plan to give this as a gift, cover the tray with a clear lid or wrap it with cellophane and a lovely ribbon. For best presentation, keep the tray at room temperature unless you include fresh items.
