Description
Fruit Kabobs are colorful skewers loaded with fresh, juicy fruit. They make a healthy snack, refreshing dessert, or fun party treat that’s easy to customize with your favorite seasonal fruits and a touch of sweet lime glaze.
Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup green grapes
- 1 cup red grapes
- 1 cup cantaloupe cubes
- 1 cup blueberries
Other
- Wooden skewers
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Wash all the fruits thoroughly and hull the strawberries. Cut the pineapple, cantaloupe, and any other larger fruits into bite-sized chunks suitable for skewering.
- Make the glaze (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice until well combined. This glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the kabobs.
- Assemble the kabobs: Thread the fruit alternately onto the wooden skewers to create colorful patterns, using different fruits on each skewer for visual appeal.
- Arrange the kabobs: Lay the finished fruit kabobs on a serving platter neatly arranged for easy access.
- Glaze the kabobs (if using): Lightly brush the honey-lime glaze over the assembled fruit kabobs to enhance flavor and give them a glossy finish.
- Serve or store: Serve the fruit kabobs immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours until ready to serve, ensuring they stay fresh and cool.
Notes
- Feel free to use any seasonal or your favorite fruits to customize the kabobs, such as kiwi, mango, or melon varieties.
- Kabobs can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and kept refrigerated to maintain freshness and flavor.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey in the glaze.
- Wooden skewers can be soaked in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning if you plan to grill or bake later, though this recipe is no-cook.
