Edible Valentine Bouquets

 

PHOTO

You can use different fruits such as star fruit, oranges, black raspberries or kumquats for a colorful bouquet.

This Valentine's Day, make your own bouquets that are good enough to eat, stem by stem. Here's what you'll need:

fruit that's fresh and washed
skewers
white or dark chocolate
nuts or coconut
a double boiler

Kumquats are a fun and yummy fruit to dip in chocolate.

First, thread the fruit onto the skewer. Then dip it into melted chocolate in your double boiler and let it drain; you can also just drizzle the chocolate on top. Next, dip the fruit into the nuts or coconuts for a tasty and decorative touch. Try putting a raspberry in the center of a pineapple and then dip the edge in chocolate. There are lots of fun things you can do.

Another fun treat is a paper-thin chocolate leaf. All you need is a thick, glossy leaf such as a camellia leaf. Make sure it's pesticide-free and non-poisonous. First, paint the back side of the leaf with chocolate. Use the back because that's where the beautiful veins are and where you will get the best impression. Now put it in the refrigerator and let it set for a few minutes. Once it hardens, paint it one more time and let it harden again. Then very gently pull the chocolate layer apart from the leaf. It's a leaf good enough to eat.

You can use cookie cutters to bring your bouquet to life. Line a simple cookie cutter with foil. Fill it with chocolate about 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. Pop it in the refrigerator and let it set. You can be as creative as you want with your molds.

For an alternative to fruit and chocolate, try melting hard candy into shapes.

For a hard candy bouquet, you'll need some hard candy and cookie cutters or a mold. If you're using cookie cutters, you'll have to line them with some foil and spray them with a non-stick cooking spray. Next, smash the candy and dump it into the mold. You can make any kind of design you'd like. Add a skewer or popsicle stick for the stem. Once you have the candy in the mold, put it into a 450-degree oven for three minutes until it's completely melted. Take it out and let it cool. It will harden rather quickly.

Arrange your skewered treats in a vase. Happy Valentine's Day!
