What are fruit kabobs?

Fruit kabobs are one of the easiest healthy desserts you’ll ever make. They are simply chunks of different types of fruit threaded onto wooden or metal skewers and served as a dessert.

Oftentimes, they will be accompanied by a lightly sweet sauce such as my Vegan Lime Fruit Sauce.

How to make fruit skewers

The recipe card at the bottom of the page has the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions.

You will want to begin by deciding which fruits to use on your skewers. Personally, I love firm fruit such as melons, berries, grapes, and pineapples.

Fruits to avoid would be the types that oxidize quickly and turn brown such as bananas, apples, and pears.

Wash your fruit of choice well and pat dry with a towel. Then, you’ll want to begin cutting any larger fruit into chunks that will fit on the skewers.

I like to keep my fruit approximately the same size. So, when I use grapes, I like to cut any larger fruit to about the size of my grapes.

Thread the fruit chunks onto your skewers. To me, they look the nicest when all of the kabobs are arranged in the same pattern.

These are terrific for parties and showers because they make such a beautiful display on a serving platter.

Your Fruit Skewer Questions Answered:

• Q: Which fruits work well for skewers? You’ll want to avoid fruits that turn brown quickly such as bananas, apples, and pears. Fruits that work well are firm hearty ones like grapes, pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, oranges, and melons.
• Q: Can fruit skewers be made the night before? Yes! As long as there are no apples, bananas, pears, or other fruits that oxidize quickly. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Q: Do I need to soak the wooden skewers first? No, soaking is only required when grilling to prevent the sticks from burning.
