Instructions

  1. Sanitize and pat dry each fruit variety to ensure optimal freshness and cleanliness.
  2. Slice fruits into uniform, bite-sized cubes or chunks, maintaining consistent geometric shapes for aesthetic appeal.

Notes

  • Achieve vibrant colors by selecting fruits that represent each rainbow hue like strawberries (red), oranges (orange), pineapple (yellow), green grapes, blueberries, and purple grapes.
  • Prevent fruit browning by tossing cut fruits like apples and bananas in a little lemon juice before skewering to maintain their fresh appearance.
  • Create kid-friendly versions by using smaller wooden skewers and involving children in the colorful fruit arrangement, making healthy eating fun and interactive.
  • Enhance presentation by chilling skewers before serving, which keeps fruits crisp and provides a refreshing touch perfect for summer gatherings or picnics.
