- If you don't have a tray, you can use lots of different items as a base for your fruit platter. Try: a pizza pan, a cookie sheet, a piece of cardboard covered with foil, an old frozen pizza cardboard liner covered with foil, your broiler pan covered with foil. Or, go to your local thrift store and pick up a tray for $1.
-If you have too much fruit for the tray you are using, place some of the washed, cut up fruit in bowls next to the fruit tray!
