Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 firm pears
  • 1/4 small watermelon
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • Juice from half a lemon

Method
 

  1. Cut the pears into thick slices, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Use a small star-shaped cutter to punch out star shapes.
  2. Toss the pear stars with lemon juice to prevent browning and keep them fresh.
  3. Slice the watermelon into 1/2-inch thick slabs and cut out star shapes using the same cutter.
  4. Quarter the strawberries after removing the stems.
  5. In a large bowl, combine strawberries and blueberries and mix gently.
  6. Carefully fold in the pear and watermelon stars, being gentle to maintain their shape.
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate briefly until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Toddler-friendly? Yes! This is a great recipe for toddlers, thanks to its soft textures and natural sweetness. Just cut fruit into smaller pieces if needed.
  • Make-ahead tip: Prep the stars and berries in advance and store separately. Mix just before serving.
  • Want extra flair? Add mint leaves or a sprinkle of feta for a grown-up twist.
