Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Fruit kabobs
  • 2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries leave whole
  • 2 cup large marshmallows or white grapes use either marshmallows or grapes
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks for threading

Method
 

Prep fruit
  1. Wash and prep all fruit by hulling the strawberries and leaving the blueberries whole.
  2. Dry the fruit well so the berries and strawberries thread cleanly without slipping.
Assemble skewers
  1. Thread each skewer in a repeating pattern of 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, and 1 strawberry.
  2. Repeat the pattern 2–3 times per skewer depending on skewer length to build a plump, patriotic sequence.
  3. Line the completed skewers on a serving platter or tray so they sit in a neat fan-like row.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead, covered loosely to keep fruit fresh.
  2. Serve chilled as a grab-and-go party appetizer or dessert.

Notes

Pro tip: Hull and dry the strawberries thoroughly before threading—extra moisture can make marshmallows slide off. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; freeze is not recommended because the berries become watery after thawing. Dietary swap: replace the marshmallows with white grapes for a less-sweet option.
