Ingredients
- Strawberries, hulled and halved
- Green or red apples, cored and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, not syrup)
- Seedless grapes (red or green)
- Bananas, sliced into thick rounds
- Kiwi, peeled and sliced
- Wooden skewers (about 6-inch length)
Instructions
- Wash all the fruit thoroughly under cold water and gently pat dry with a clean towel.
- Hull the strawberries and cut them in half. Core the apples and chop into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Slice the bananas into thick rounds, peel and slice the kiwi. Cut pineapple into chunks if not pre-cut.
- Optional: Place all the prepared fruit in a mixing bowl and gently toss to combine if you want a random fruit order on every kabob.
- Assemble the kabobs by threading fruit pieces onto wooden skewers, alternating types to create a colorful pattern. Aim for about 5-6 pieces per skewer.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
To prevent bananas from browning, brush slices with lemon juice or add them last when assembling. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes if planning to grill or broil (not required for this recipe). Use ripe but firm fruit for best results. Store kabobs in an airtight container lined with paper towels and consume within 1-2 days.
