Cut Grapes: Cut grapes to prevent choking hazards for young kids.
Choose Fresh, Ripe Fruits: Pick a variety of fruits that are in season for the best flavour and texture.
Prevent Browning: Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on apples, bananas, and pears to prevent them from browning.
Add Cream Just Before Serving: Mix the cream with the fruits just before serving to keep the fruits fresh and the cream from becoming too runny.
