Ingredients
- Pineapple, fresh, cut into bite-sized chunks
- Strawberries, hulled and halved
- Seedless grapes, whole
- Kiwi, peeled and sliced into thick rounds
- Honeydew melon or cantaloupe, cubed
- Blueberries, whole
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
- Lime juice (optional)
- Honey (optional)
- Chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace and wash all fruits thoroughly (about 5 minutes).
- Cut the pineapple, melon, and kiwi into roughly 1-inch chunks or slices (about 10 minutes).
- Hull and halve the strawberries; leave grapes and blueberries whole. Remove grape stems if present.
- If using, toss the cut fruit gently in a bowl with 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice and a handful of chopped mint leaves. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Thread the fruit pieces onto skewers, alternating colors and textures, leaving about 1 inch of skewer at each end for handling (10-15 minutes).
- Optional: Drizzle a little honey over the kabobs just before serving.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate covered for up to 2 hours. Bring to room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving if refrigerated.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before use to prevent burning if grilling. Use ripe but firm fruit for best texture. Keep fruit cold until serving. Avoid overcrowding skewers to prevent squishing. Optional additions include honey drizzle, chili powder, or lime juice for extra flavor.
