Fruit Gobbler

Founds this awesome Thanksgiving appetizer display on http://familyfun.go.com/magazine/!  I love the colors of the grapes and the cheese together.  Another version would be the grapes, cheddar chees as well as pear chunks for additional color.  Give it a try!  It's seems easy to assemble -- and would be delicious to take apart, not to mention, a great conversation piece for your appetizer table!

Ingredients
  • Bosc pear (head)
  • Melon (body)
  • Cheese (beak and tail feathers)
  • Red pepper (snood, feet and side feathers)
  • Raisins (eyes)
  • Grapes (tail feathers)
  • Bamboo skewers
  • Toothpicks
Instructions
  1. Stabilize the melon body by cutting a shallow slice off the rind to form a flat base. Using a section of bamboo skewer, attach a Bosc pear head to the melon, as shown.
  2. Cut a cheese triangle beak and red pepper snood. Attach both, along with raisin eyes, to the head with sections of toothpick.
  3. Cut red pepper feet and set them in place. For tail feathers, skewer cheese cubes and red grapes, then insert the skewers as shown. Pin pepper side feathers in place with toothpicks.
