The present invention is directed to packaging for fresh cut and dipped or enrobed fruit. The package comprises an outer sleeve and an encapsulating set-up carton board box; the inner compartment comprises internal inserts that secure a molded top and bottom piece that are specifically designed to hold cut pieces of fruit in a ball or “apple” formation (or that hold other fruit parts in different formations). The package was designed to protect, present, and display the fresh cut fruit product “plate-like,” “bowl-like,” or easily sharable form to allow it to be eaten direct from the package while maintaining a premium look and feel.

A process for preparing a pineapple confectionary item for a fruit arrangement comprising the steps of: providing a piece of sectioned pineapple having pineapple meat and core intact; cutting the sectioned pineapple into a desired shape utilizing a shape cutter with the shaped pineapple having a first portion and a second portion. Once the pineapple is shaped, a skewer channel is created within the pineapple meat and core. Once the skewer channel is created, a coating of dark chocolate is applied to the first portion. A skewer is subsequently inserted into the skewer channel and the dark chocolate layer is allowed to cool. Once the dark chocolate is cooled, a coating of white chocolate is applied to the second portion; and subsequently allowed to cool.

A fruit skewer having an elongated central shaft for receiving and securing fruit, food or non-food items thereon for display or cooking. The portion of said shaft upon which the fruit or other item is to be situated has a cross- sectional area designed to prevent the object through which the skewer is inserted from rotating about the longitudinal axis of the skewer. In the preferred embodiment, said cross-sectional area is in a cross ("+") shape, although other shapes are anticipated, including a "Y" shape as well as a star shape having five or more fins (e.g., "*"). In this embodiment, the end of the skewer is tapered or beveled to allow for the easy insertion of the skewer into the fruit or other object, and said fins are chamfered. At least one projection is provided along the length of the skewer, said projection being provided so as to prevent the item through which the skewer is being inserted from sliding too far down the length of the skewer.
