My mother sent this to me for Christmas. She said "I hope you liked it because it was expensive." It's a great idea for something different and it's very pretty, but fruit is seasonal, and a fruit arrangement in Canada in December just doesn't work. The fruit is peeled so it's already deteriorating while in transit. If you wait a day or two to eat it, forget it. We took a couple bites, and then froze it all and made fruit leather in the dehydrator. At least it didn't go to waste.
