Choose lots of different fruits or only three or four from the suggestions below to make a delicious treat! These colorful kabobs will brighten up any brown bag lunch or party tray!

Yield: varies

Ingredients

watermelon, cut into bite size pieces

fresh pineapple, cut into bite size pieces

kiwi, cut into wedges

fresh orange wedges, peeled and cut in half

cantaloupe, cut into bite size pieces

fresh strawberries, hulled and cut in half

fresh raspberries

fresh blueberries

fresh blackberries

green grapes

wooden skewers

Directions:

Holding one end of a skewer, pierce a piece of fruit and slide it towards your hand leaving enough room to grab and hold onto the skewer. Continue threading skewers with fruit of alternating colors for a vibrant look until you have achieved the desired number of servings.

Display on a serving tray and refrigerate or serve immediately.

If you choose to use straws, pinch one end and push it through a piece of fruit. Slide the fruit to the opposite end of the straw leaving a little bit of straw to hold onto. Continue threading alternating fruits onto the straw for a colorful rainbow affect.

For a brown bag snack, individually wrap each kabob with plastic wrap and refrigerate or pack into a lunch bag with an ice pack to keep cool.
