Ingredients
- 6 grapes
- 6 large blueberries
- 6 raspberries
- 1 kiwi cut into chunks
- 6 pineapple chunks
- other fruit as desired oranges, pineapples, strawberries
- 6 wooden or metal skewers
- Lime Fruit Sauce optional recipe linked here
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.
- Serve as is or whip up some of my Lime Fruit Sauce in about 5 minutes.

Notes
Pro Tips & Suggestions:
Fruit options- 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.
Making ahead- As long as there are no apples, bananas, pears, or other fruits that oxidize quickly, you can make these ahead of time. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Skewers- If you are using wooden skewers, soaking is not required. It is only necessary when grilling to prevent the sticks from burning.
