Saturday's Food Tip: Striking Citrus Centerpieces

Instead of the usual flower arrangement, or a more elaborate centerpiece for your kitchen or dining room table, create a striking citrus centerpiece instead.

Fill an attractive bowl with lemons or limes ONLY, or a combination of the two fruits. The citrus will gently scent the room and will have greater visual impact than the standard bowl of apples and oranges.

EXTRA NOTE: Turn the lemons and limes each day, to keep them from getting moldy. If you see signs of mold on any of the fruit, discard that piece of fruit immediately. These centerpieces will last up to a week or so in a cool, air-conditioned kitchen or dining room.
