Hello! We are having a reception for our daughter. We are having 9 0z. fruit cups and I need to know how many watermelon, cantaloupe and red grapes to buy. We are planning on 200 people. It's getting close and I'm freaking out! Thanks! |

Take deep breaths, and don't let the fruit cups overwhelm the celebration of love. It takes about 4 gallons of ready to eat fruit to make 100 half cup servings, and you need more like 3//4 to 1 cup, so say 7 gallons per 100. Fruit that are eaten pretty much "as is", such as apples, grapes, strawberries, take about 8 pounds to make a gallon. Peel heavy fruit like oranges, grapefruit, take about 10 pounds per gallon Watermelon, other melons, 11-12 pounds |
