FALL PEAR CENTERPIECE

MATERIALS NEEDED:
Platter or Large Shallow Bowl
Red Pears & Apples – as many as needed to fill platter/bowl
Pistachios – 1 lb
Bittersweet – a couple branches
Yellow, Orange & Red Construction Paper

Fill the platter/shallow bowl with a layer of pistachios then place pears and apples. Add a few branches of bittersweet berries for texture. Next, cut out a dozen or more leaf shapes from the yellow, orange and red paper. Scatter these through the arrangement.
On Thanksgiving, ask your guests to choose a leaf and write on it one thing for which they are grateful, and return it to the platter/bowl. Later on have each person choose a leaf and read what was written on it.
