Kiwifruit. It taste similar to a strawberry and can out live the strawberry on fruit displays. Kiwis come into season in the late-fall in California, so it makes up for the lack of fruit during the winter. It's the perfect replacement at any party during the cold months. Once you've obtained your kiwis, you need to know how to prepare them.

One method to prepare the kiwi is to cut it into wheels, and then take the wheels and cut them into "half moons". Then you can skewer each kiwi slice through the skin to make it an easy dip. If you prefer skinless, you can use a potato peeler to remove the skin.
