It's always good when entertaining friends to have attractive and tasty, yet light starters. These two tick all the boxes! The first one, melon balls is done with a melon ball implement. You can get hold of one here We chose three different coloured melons for visual effect which works well here. Then we presented them in Tulip wine glasses (available here). For added pizazz we later added a sprig of fresh mint on top which we always have growing in our garden! We served these here with flavoured Marks and Spencer's yogurt, in little dip holders so that guests could take as much as they wanted.
The second starter features fresh fruit of various sorts, in fresh orange juice. Some of our older end viewers remember making a version of this sort in Domestic Science at school years ago! We chose strawberries cut up, green grapes, red and/or black grapes and blueberries for this and then simply poured some chilled fresh orange juice (not concentrated and not too much) in the bottom, of the dish just before serving. Here we like to do things in style...
