limes,
lemons, and plums. Start with a small ball of dough the size of a
quarter. Roll in decorative sugar for the color appropriate for the
particular fruit color.
To make the green leaves, roll a green gumdrop between two pieces of
waxed paper. Use a knife to shape the leaves.For the apple, make the

gumdrop leaf.For the peach, use a toothpick to make a line down the
side. Add a stem and leaf.
