Scale
Fruits:
- 12 strawberries
- 12 cubes watermelon (approximately 2 cups / 473 milliliters)
- 12 cubes pineapple (approximately 2 cups / 473 milliliters)
- 12 cubes cantaloupe (approximately 2 cups / 473 milliliters)
- 12 blackberries
- 3 mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 kiwi, peeled, halved, and sliced
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry all selected fruits to ensure crisp, clean presentation.
- Carefully slice strawberries, oranges, pineapple, green grapes, blueberries, and purple grapes into uniform, bite-sized pieces that will easily slide onto skewers.
- Select wooden or metal skewers and prepare a clean platter for serving.
- Create a vibrant color gradient by strategically arranging fruit pieces from red to purple, mimicking a classic rainbow spectrum.
- Begin with red strawberries at the top of the skewer, followed by orange segments, yellow pineapple chunks, green grapes, blue blueberries, and conclude with purple grapes at the bottom.
- Ensure each skewer maintains consistent spacing and alignment for an aesthetically pleasing presentation.
- Refrigerate kabobs for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance fruit crispness and provide a refreshing chilled experience.
- For optimal flavor and visual appeal, serve immediately after assembling to prevent fruit from browning or losing its vibrant colors.
Notes
- Choose firm, ripe fruits that hold their shape well to prevent falling apart during skewering.
- Select a variety of colorful fruits like strawberries, oranges, pineapple, green grapes, blueberries, and purple grapes to create a vibrant rainbow effect.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 15-30 minutes before use to prevent them from burning or splintering when threading fruits.
- Prep fruits just before serving to maintain their fresh appearance and prevent browning, especially with fruits like apples and bananas.
