We all know fun festive fruit and veggie boads, but how about a Citrus Christmas Tree using Satsuma Mandarins and Cranberry Ornaments to add just a little extra to your parties and get-togethers this year!

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 tree 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 Mandarine Oranges (peeled and separated, I used Satsuma Mandarins)
  • Whole Cranberries (Fresh or frozen will work)
  • confectioners sugar (You’ll use about a Tablespoon-ish)
  • 1 sprig Mint (completely optional – for the top of the tree.)

Instructions

  1. On a platter or board of your choice, line all but three mandarin slices like a pyramid, play around with it until it’s how you like it. Line the last 3 in a straight-ish line for the base. The randomly place Cranberries all over the top to look like ornaments. You could also candy them to really jazz up your ornaments! Top the tree with a tiny sprig of mint (completely optional).
  2. Shake some powdered sugar over the entire tree with a fine mesh strainer (the amount is completely up to you, the fruit is pretty sweet on it’s own, so I didn’t do a lot)
  3. That’s it! You have a fun fruit Christmas tree ready to impress!
