Dried fruit gift baskets
Continuing on my series on fruit gift baskets I am going to explain all about the dried fruit gift baskets. These are definitely different than the fresh cut fruit gift baskets.
In fact these are in some ways better than the fresh cut fresh fruit gift baskets as there is no fresh fruit to be managed which means that it is always better than to have juices flowing all over.
Most common ingredients of dried fruit gift baskets
Pineapple chunks
Dates
Figs
Craisins
Apricots
Prunes
Combinations to order
The best combination is always the dried fruits and the nuts for the fruit nuts gift basket
You can use the
Roasted and salted Pistachios
Roasted and salted cashews
A lot of people prefer the trail mix
Good Brands to order from
Oh!nuts is one such company and I really like their 13-inch Dried Fruit Gift Platter .
You name any fruit and they it seems have it there as a dried item. Like
Dried pineapple, dried cherries, dried bananas etc.
Yiou can even order in bulk these items if you are planning on making a large number of kosher paltters or the kosher gift items on your own.
Here is there website
Another idea is that if you need to use only the nuts then use the mixed nuts gift basket. These mixed nuts basket can be easily procured again from all sorts of shops.
Also you can have the mixed nuts gift basket all made by yourself if you buy these mixed nuts from the market in bulk and the package them by your self.
Another personal favorite is the trail mix gift basket. Trail mix by itself is so yummy that a gift basket would be a good idea. I can easily snack on trail mix for endless hours. It is a superb idea to give as a gift basket for your best friend.
