Harvest Centerpiece

    Ingredients

    1 large, flat platter or 12 to 16-inch (30.8 to 40.6 cm) mirror, framed or unframed Assorted fresh fall leaves Assorted pumpkins, gourds, nuts, pinecones, acorns or other harvest fruits. 1 large pillar candle 1 340 g bag Ocean Spray® Fresh Cranberries

    Steps

    Place a platter or mirror on the table. Scatter the leaves on the mirror and place candle on top. Arrange pumpkins, gourds and assorted fruits and nuts around candle. Sprinkle Ocean Spray® Fresh Cranberries around fruits and candle. Discard berries and other fruit when they become soft, which can range from a few days to a week. *Tip: Gather brightly colored leaves and press between paper towels or newspaper until dry. If colored leaves are not available, you can use dried or silk leaves instead. Variations: Instead of large candles, you can use a few votive candles in glass containers, along with pumpkins, gourds, whole nuts and fruit such as apples and cranberries. Fill a large glass bowl with fresh fruit such as apples and oranges. Sprinkle with unshelled nuts, fresh cranberries and clusters of dried flowers. Wrap a wide fall-colored ribbon and raffia around the bowl and tie into a bow. Tuck two or three long cinnamon sticks and sheaves of wheat into the ribbon. Arrange colorful ears of dried corn, fresh squash and gourds on a tray. Sprinkle with unshelled nuts and fresh cranberries. Tuck dried flowers and small bunches of wheat sheaves, tied with ribbon or raffia, around and among the vegetables.
