File this one away in your ridiculously easy category as well as a fun project for kids to do.
Ingredients
- Using seasonal fruit, simply cut fruit into bite size shapes
- For every 10 (6-inch) skewers, about 4-5 pieces of fruit would work
- A variety of at least 3 different types of fruit would be good
Suggestions:
- Diced strawberries, apples, kiwi, peaches, apricots
- Whole blueberries, blackberries, lychees
- Use a melon baller for watermelon, cantelope, or similiar fruit
- Fresh large mint leaves or sweet basil
- For a little more fun, drizzle honey, agave, or a simple syrup of choice
Instructions
A few helpful tips:
- Cut the fruits in uniform shapes and sizes for easy eating
- Choose a color scheme
- Be sure to leave at least 1-2 inches free on the top and bottom of skewer, this will make it easy to enjoy them
- Cut fruit a group at a time and keep the rest in the refrigerator
- You can skewer the fruit ahead of time and leave in your refrigerator to chill
- To keep the fruit fresh, mix fresh lemon juice with filtered water and spray them periodically
- If you use fresh herbs like mint, make sure that they're squished in between two pieces of fruit so that the leaf doesn't tear and fall off the skewer
