Instructions

Wash all fruit and allow them to dry.
Cut up the watermelon, apples, and honeydew melon into small squares. Cut strawberries into halves or quarters depending on their size. If not serving immediately, soak apple slices in a mixture of lemon juice and water for at least 10 minutes after slicing, using 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per cup of water for soaking apples.
Arrange blueberries and blackberries at the top left of your serving dish to start, then layer red, white, red, white, and red fruits in a horizontal line until all fruits are layered or the dish is filled to your liking.
Cut one apple into star shapes using a cookie cutter and place the stars on top of the blueberries to complete the patriotic look.
