Easter Dress Up Your Holiday Meal With Garnishes

Suggestions from Iowa State College nutritionist Jewel Graham for festive Easter plating. Glazes such as dry mustard with brown sugar or orange marmalade, studding with cloves, and decorative grape clusters around ham or turkey create eye catching platters. Use turns like Easter lily turnips and cranberry tulips for garnish, plus decorative ice with sherbet borders to finish.
