Ingredients
Fresh strawberries
Pineapple chunks
Grapes (red or green)
Kiwi slices
Watermelon cubes
Bananas, sliced
Skewers (wooden or metal)
Optional: Honey or yogurt for dipping
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Collect all the fruits you plan to use, along with your skewers.
- Prepare the Fruits: Wash the strawberries and grapes thoroughly. Peel and chop the pineapple, kiwi, watermelon, and bananas into bite-sized pieces.
- Choose Your Skewering Method: For smaller fruits like grapes, you can use the skewers as they are. For larger fruits, consider layering them with smaller fruits to ensure balance and easy eating.
- Skewer the Fruits: Start with a sturdy base fruit like pineapple or watermelon at the bottom of the skewer. Alternate the fruits in a colorful and festive pattern, such as pineapple, kiwi, strawberry, banana, and grapes.
- Continue Layering: Add slices of bananas, strawberries, and kiwi until the skewer is filled, leaving a little space at the bottom for easier handling.
- Repeat: Continue this process until all your fruits are used up, making sure to create a beautiful mix of colors and shapes on each skewer.
- Serve: Arrange the finished fruit skewers on a platter to create a visually appealing and colorful display.
- Optional Dipping Sauces: If desired, prepare a small bowl of honey or yogurt on the side for dipping.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover fruit skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The fruit may begin to soften, so they’re best enjoyed fresh.
Refrigerating: To keep the fruit fresh, cover the skewers with plastic wrap or place them in a sealed container until ready to serve.
Variations: Add fresh herbs like mint or basil, or incorporate tropical fruits like mango, papaya, or coconut for a different twist. Drizzle with melted chocolate for a decadent treat.
