On a large round serving plate arrange the orange segments in a circle to form the clock face.

Step 3:

Place 12 grapes at even intervals around the circle to mark the hours pressing them gently between the orange segments.

Step 4:

Use two longer grapes (or two orange segments) at the center as the clocks hands pointing to your desired time (e.g. 10:10 for visual appeal).

If desired scatter fresh mint leaves around the platter for extra color and aroma.
