This is my family's customary grapefruit basket.
It's great for guests, birthdays, and small parties.

1 grapefruit is enough for 2 people. You can change the image greatly with different thicknesses of the handles.
If you set it on a plate, cut the bottom a bit and set on aluminum foil so that it doesn't wobble. Recipe by fumiyoo

Steps

1

Cut the grapefruit in half horizontally. Use a fruit knife to cut the fruit away from the skin. Cut a cross into the surface of the fruit and remove the fruit.
2

If you have a grapefruit knife, it's even more convenient. When removing the insides, cut the core and remove it.
3

Remove the membranes from the grapefruit. If it's sour, top with the icing sugar.
4

Make the handle. Cut a thin strip around the top of the fruit, leaving about 2~3 mm intact on each end.
5

Use a toothpick to secure the handles together and cut to about 1 cm length. If it's too thick, it will be harder to stuff, so be careful.
6

You can use a ribbon to hold it in place instead of the toothpick. Cut fruit into easy-to-eat pieces and fill the bowl up with fruit and jelly.
7

If you put it on a festive plate and decorate it for Christmas, it's real cute. Be careful not to use a ribbon that will bleed.

Today's fruit: Melon, pears, apples, mangoes, and jelly cubes. If you use strawberries and kiwis, it's even more Christmas-y.
