Step 1

Make the outline of your tree using the sprigs of rosemary starting at the top, spreading out farther as you go down. You may need to adjust and rearrange them as you start adding your edible ingredients.

Step 2

Place the celery stem at the bottom for the trunk of the tree, whatever length looks good to you. This entire process is kind of by sight and what looks good to you.

Step 3

Start at the bottom of your "tree", with each row more narrow than the last, I like to place a row of cheese, then red grapes, another row of cheese, green grapes, last row of cheese, then black grapes. Then place kiwi slices in triangle shape to create the "top" of the tree.

Step 4

Place one slice of star fruit at the very top for the star (see notes if you cannot find star fruit). Then add additional star fruit slices randomly over the "tree". Add cranberries sporadically around the tree as well as the mixed nuts. If you have room, the nuts could be the "pot" that the tree comes out of. Almonds work best for this, in a square shape at the bottom of the celery stem, covering the very bottom of it.

Step 5

Your creation is ready! You can assemble up to 4 hours ahead of serving, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
