Fruit Kabobs are a fun, colorful way to enjoy fresh fruit. They're perfect for parties, picnics, or just a healthy snack. Easy to make and a delight to eat, these kabobs bring a splash of color and flavor to any occasion.
Green grapes and red grapes add a juicy sweetness and a pop of color. They're also easy to skewer without any prep. Strawberries, once hulled and halved, offer a bright red touch and a slightly tart flavor that balances the sweetness. Cantaloupe and honeydew melon are both refreshing and hydrating, with cantaloupe adding a warm orange hue and honeydew a cool green. Pineapple cubes give a tropical twist with their sweet and tangy taste. Lastly, blueberries add a small burst of flavor and deepen the color palette.
These Fruit Kabobs are perfect on their own or served with a yogurt or chocolate dip for added indulgence. They're excellent at brunches, picnics, or as a refreshing dessert after a barbecue. Pair them with a light sparkling water or lemonade for a refreshing combo.
Start by washing all your fruits thoroughly under cold water. Grab a clean kitchen towel and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This ensures that your fruits won't slip off the skewers.
Next, take your strawberries and hull them. Simply slice off the green tops, and then cut each strawberry in half. For the cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and pineapple, you'll want to cut them into bite-sized cubes. Keep the pieces uniform for even skewering.
Now, onto the fun part — assembling the kabobs! Take a wooden skewer and begin threading the fruits. A good pattern might start with a green grape, followed by a piece of pineapple, a strawberry half, a cube of cantaloupe, a red grape, a blueberry, and a piece of honeydew melon. Feel free to mix it up and make it your own.
Continue threading the fruit in this manner until you've used all your ingredients. Leave about an inch bare at the top and bottom of each skewer to make them easy to handle. Once all your kabobs are assembled, they're ready to serve!
