Enjoy this fun way to eat fall fruit while sharing with your children the ways we can bear spiritual fruit in our lives. Remind them that when we are loving, joyful, peace-filled, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled, we model to others what it looks like to be filled with God’s Spirit.

What You’ll Do for Fruit Cones:

1. Add all fruit to a large mixing bowl.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime zest, and lime juice.
3. Pour dressing over fruit just before serving and toss to evenly coat.
4. Scoop fruit into cones using a slotted spoon so dressing can drain. (Too much dressing will cause the cones to become soggy and leak.)
5. Transfer to a container with a lid and freeze for 6 hours.
