Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients:

1/8 melon
1/4 cup strawberries
1/4 cup pineapple chunks
1/4 apple
1/4 banana

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruits:

Begin by gathering your assortment of fresh fruits. Opt for ripe, juicy options such as melon, strawberries, pineapple, apple, and banana. Ensure they are thoroughly washed and dried.
Slice the melon, strawberries, pineapple, apple, and banana into bite-sized pieces. You can customize the fruit selection based on personal preferences and seasonal availability.

2. Assemble the Kabobs:

Take small metal or bamboo skewers and thread the prepared fruit pieces onto them in any desired order. Get creative with your arrangement to make the kabobs visually appealing and enticing.
Alternate between different fruits to create a colorful and flavorful combination. The vibrant hues of the fruits will make the kabobs look irresistible.

3. Prevent Browning:

To maintain the freshness and vibrant appearance of the apples and bananas, it’s essential to prevent them from browning. Dip the apple and banana slices in orange or lemon juice before threading them onto the skewers. The citric acid in the juice helps inhibit oxidation and keeps the fruits looking fresh.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

Once the kabobs are assembled, they are ready to be served immediately. Arrange them on a platter or serving tray for a stunning presentation.
Fruit kabobs are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them shortly after assembling to savor the juicy flavors and crisp textures of the fruits.
These delightful treats are perfect for sharing with friends and family at potlucks, picnics, or any celebration. They make a refreshing and healthy dessert option that everyone will love.
