1. Serve fruit kebabs at a kids’ party for a healthier alternative to cupcakes or candies.
This also makes a great pool party treat. Colorful and simply pretty, fruit kebabs will be
a hit in any occasion and will be gone in no time. Make at least one skewer per person.
Choose different kinds of fruits from all the colors of the rainbow for a beautiful
presentation. Grapes, watermelon, apples, oranges, cantaloupes, mangos, blueberries,
strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, and pineapple make delicious fruit kebabs. Use fruits
that are in season for a more affordable and ultra fresh treat. You can also add cherry
tomatoes in the mix for an interesting contrast. Your vegetarian and health-conscious
friends will fall in love with these! Serve fruit kebabs with flavored yogurts or honey as
dipping sauces.
You can also add banana to the skewers but first coat it with lemon juice to prevent it
from browning. This is also applies to the apples. This is a refreshing, unique and fun
alternative the usual fruit salad. Fruits should be sliced in bite-sized chunks but the
small ones like grapes and blueberries don’t need to be sliced. You can also choose to
top the skewer with a special treat like a mini marshmallow or a brownie bite, or place
it at the bottom of the skewer. If you choose to place a treat above or below the fruits,
place a fruit that does not leak juice beside it. Grapes, for example, with its skin on will
not leak juice to the treat. Watermelon and pineapple are wet and juicy so place them
far away from the treat.
Be creative when it comes to arranging the fruits. You could do a color fruit to make a
multicolored rainbow, for example, such as red strawberry followed by orange, yellow
pineapple, green kiwi, blue berry, raspberry, and purple grapes.

2. Ingredients
 Fruits (such as grapes, watermelon, apples, oranges,
cantaloupes, mangos, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kiwi,
pineapple, cherry tomato for a wild card!), cut into bite-size
pieces (peeled if needed)
 Wooden kebab sticks (one per person)
 Special treat (such as mini marshmallow or brownie bite) optional
1
Slice fruit into bite-sized chunks (do not cut grapes or whole
berries). Thread fruit chunks onto wooden skewers. As you make
each skewer, lay it down on a large tray. If you are using a
special treat, put that on first or use it as an ending piece.
2
Once you cover the tray with a single layer of skewers, place a
piece of waxed paper on top and begin your next layer of
skewers if needed. This will keep them tidier than if you pile
skewers on top of each other and the fruit starts getting
entwined.
