Ingredients
- 50 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 piece Florist foam cone
- 1 roll Cling wrap
- 50 pieces Toothpicks
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 10 pieces Mini mozzarella balls
- 10 pieces Pitted black olives
- 1 piece Star-shaped cookie cutter
- 1 piece Yellow bell pepper (for the star)
- 1 strip Red ribbon
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by covering the florist foam cone completely in cling wrap. This prevents contact between the foam and any edible items placed on the arrangement while also securing the rosemary sprigs.
Step 2
2. Wash and pat dry all fresh rosemary sprigs. Trim the sprigs to ensure they are roughly uniform in length (about 4-5 inches each) for easier arrangement.
Step 3
3. Starting from the bottom of the cone, insert the rosemary sprigs into the foam by poking them gently into the wrapped cone at a slight angle. Work your way around the cone, creating a layered, tree-like look. Overlap the sprigs slightly to avoid gaps.
Step 4
4. Continue layering the rosemary sprigs upward until the entire cone is covered and resembles a Christmas tree. Secure any loose sprigs with toothpicks if necessary.
Step 5
5. Cut the yellow bell pepper horizontally and use the star-shaped cookie cutter to create a star for the tree topper. Attach the star to the top of the rosemary tree using a toothpick gently inserted at an angle.
Step 6
6. Skewer cherry tomatoes, mini mozzarella balls, and pitted black olives onto individual toothpicks, leaving about half of the toothpick exposed for easy insertion. Distribute the skewered ingredients evenly around the rosemary tree to mimic colorful ornaments.
Step 7
7. Wrap the base of the tree with a decorative red ribbon to add a festive touch.
Step 8
8. Place the finished Rosemary Christmas Tree Centerpiece on a plate or cutting board for display. It’s ready to use as a holiday centerpiece and snack station!
