3 Ways to Put on a Beautiful Breakfast Spread This Holiday Season

If you are having house guests this holiday season you can wow your guests at breakfast as well as at dinner with a few simple ingredients and a gorgeous presentation. You will need a box of assorted citrus fruit for cooking and at least one citrus fruit gift basket for presentation. Using citrus fruit baskets is an easy way to make your breakfast table look great and give your guests the chance to grab a healthy breakfast if they do not want a big breakfast. Make sure that you have both Florida oranges and grapefruits on the table for breakfast. Fresh citrus fruit makes a great decoration and you can cook like a gourmet using simple citrus fruit to create delicious exotic breakfast treats. Here is how to put on a gorgeous breakfast spread for your guests this holiday season:

Make fresh Honeybell marmalade – Give your guests a delicious, healthy alternative to butter for their morning toast and make some fresh Honeyball Tangelo marmalade. The sweet juice of the Honeybell makes absolutely delicious marmalade that your friends and family will love. Package and freeze some so that you can give it to your guests to take home. Honeybell marmalade is also a great topping for desserts like ice cream or pound cake. You can even use it in marinades for savory dishes. Pick up an assortment of citrus fruit with Honeybells to make sure you have enough.

Whip up some healthy fruit smoothies – If you do not want to serve a formal breakfast every morning but still want to give your guests a delicious way to start the day you cannot go wrong with fruit smoothies. Use fresh squeezed Florida orange juice or grapefruit juice instead of water to make the smoothies naturally sweet and super healthy. You and your guests will appreciate the great taste and nutritional boost of morning fruit smoothies.

Start the day with a gorgeous fruit salad – A simple fruit salad can be impressive when you combine fresh berries, orange and grapefruit segments, a little balsamic vinegar, sugar, and candied orange and grapefruit peel. The tastes of the berries and the citrus fruit will blend beautifully and your guests will get a healthy, delicious breakfast that is light enough to not fill them up too much. Add a vanilla yogurt dipping sauce if you want to make the dish really impressive. Keep the dipping sauce on the side though so that guests who do not want anything to interfere with the taste of the fruit can eat their fruit plain.
