  • Cut apple into thin slices and arrange in groups of two around the wreath.
  • Peel beetroot and cut into thin rounds then cut with star cutter. Arrange around wreath.
  • Sprinkle pecan and pomegranate seeds.

Notes

  • If you don't fancy the idea of raw beetroot, quickly blanche for a few minutes in boiling water. 
  • Pomegranate seeds can be bought packaged (easy option!) or buy a fresh pomegranate, cut in half and then holding it with splayed fingers across the cut end, hit the skin firmly with something like a sharpening steel until the seeds pop out. Some pith will come with it so discard that. 
  • If you are not able to serve immediately sqeeze a little lemon juice over the apple.
