Golden Chair of St. Peter Fruit Salad

Feast of the Chair of St. Peter
February 22nd

In commemoration of the day when St. Peter held his first service in Rome, we made this 
Golden Chair of St. Peter Pineapple Fruit Salad.
It doesn't exactly look like this picture,
but it was fun to make.
We just carved out a pineapple in the shape of a chair.
First, cutting the skin,
Then carving the chair.
Next, we combined the following "golden" fruit:
(They may sound like a strange combination but it definitely worked~yum!)
Diced pears
Diced peaches
Diced cantaloupe
Diced pineapple
Mandarin orange slices
Golden raisins
We also mixed in a natural oats and honey granola for some crunch!
(If you like a creamy fruit salad, we love to add honey flavored Greek yogurt).  

Note:  We placed toothpicks in the mandarin orange slices on the pineapple chair to represent the Holy Spirit, as seen in the actual photo (above).
Intercessory Prayer to St. Peter:
O God, who hast given unto They blessed Apostle Peter
the keys to the kingdom of heaven,
and the power to bind and loose:
grant that we may be delivered,
through the help of this Intercessory,
from the slavery of all our sins:
Who livest and reignest world without end.
Amen.

Edible Chairs for the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter


With the feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Antioch coming up on February 22nd (a First Communion Anniversary in our home), the Toaster Pastry Throne I came up with during Our Sixth Good Shepherd's Garden Party last year came to mind as a fun treat to make for this feast day.  

Edible Chairs/Thrones

Supplies:

White Almond Bark, Candy Melts or White Chocolate Chips, melted

Directions:

Cut the Toaster Pastry to make the seat and back of chair/throne, making one side bigger than the other.  Place the taller side on the top end of the shorter side using melted chocolate. 


Cut the cookies into four even sections to use for the legs of the throne and two for the arms... Attach them (as shown below) using melted chocolate.   



Please feel free to leave a link in the comments (or post a picture to our Facebook page) if you end up making these and would like to share a picture.  I'd love to see them!
