Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz Strawberries Small and fresh
  • 1 large Pineapple Cut into bite-size chunks
  • 1 medium Mango Cut into bite-size chunks
  • 2 cups Green Grapes Whole
  • 1 cup Blueberries Whole

  • 1 cup Cantaloupe Cut into bite-size chunks
  • 1 cup Raspberries Whole
Skewering Tools

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash all fruit thoroughly and dry with paper towels.
  2. Cut larger fruits such as pineapple and melon into bite-sized pieces and keep grapes and berries whole.
  3. If using bananas, slice them last and treat immediately to prevent browning.
  4. Assemble fruit on skewers in a rainbow order starting with strawberries, followed by orange melon, pineapple, green grapes or kiwi, blueberries, and then purple grapes or blackberries.
Preventing Browning
  1. To prevent browning of fruits like apples and bananas, dip them in a mixture of lemon water (1 cup water with 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice) or use honey lemon mix (1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water).
Serving
  1. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator until serving.
  2. For dips, provide options such as fluffy yogurt dip, cream cheese marshmallow dip, chocolate yogurt dip, or Tajin lime dip along with the skewers.

Notes

Easy Fruit Skewers can be made ahead of time and stored in airtight containers lined with paper towels to keep them fresh. They stay best refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
