Ingredients
1 cup Strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup Pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup Seedless grapes (red or green)
2 medium Kiwi, peeled and sliced into half-moons
1 cup Cantaloupe, cut into 1-inch cubes
½ cup Blueberries
12 Wooden skewers (6-inch), soaked in water for 20 minutes
Optional Honey-Lime Drizzle: 2 tbsp honey + 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
1. Prep: Wash, dry, and cut all fruit into uniform, bite-size pieces (approx. 1-inch).
2. Drizzle: Whisk honey and lime juice together in a small bowl if using.
3. Assemble: Thread fruit onto soaked skewers in a repeating pattern of colors and textures (e.g., strawberry, pineapple, grape, kiwi, cantaloupe, blueberry). Leave space at ends for handling.
4. Serve: Arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with the honey-lime mixture just before serving, or serve the drizzle on the side.
Notes
Pro-Tips:
• Pat fruit dry with paper towels after washing to prevent the skewers from becoming slippery or soggy.
• Assemble ahead of time and store in a single layer on a tray covered with plastic wrap, but wait to drizzle until just before serving.
• For fruits that brown easily (like apples or bananas), toss them in a little lemon or lime juice before skewering.
Variations:
• Tropical: Include mango, papaya, and coconut chunks.
• Berry Medley: Combine strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries.
• Dessert Twist: Drizzle with melted dark chocolate or sprinkle with toasted coconut.
