Ingredients
Instructions
1. 1. Prepare Your Fruit: Begin by thoroughly washing all your strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries under cool running water. Gently pat them dry with paper towels. Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice any larger strawberries in half or quarters if they are too big to fit easily on a skewer with the other fruits. You want all your fruit pieces to be roughly similar in size for a consistent look and easier eating.
2. 2. Gather Your White Elements: Have your mini marshmallows or cubed white cheese ready. If using cheese, ensure it’s cut into bite-sized squares or triangles.
3. 3. Arrange Your Skewers: Lay out your wooden or bamboo skewers on a clean surface. It helps to have them all ready before you start threading.
4. 4. Start Threading the Red: Begin each skewer by carefully threading a piece of red fruit onto it. A strawberry half or a couple of raspberries work perfectly here.
5. 5. Add the White Layer: Next, add a mini marshmallow or a cube of white cheese directly after the red fruit. This creates the distinct red-white pattern.
6. 6. Introduce the Blue: Follow the white element with a few blueberries. You can thread 2-3 blueberries together to make a more substantial blue section.
7. 7. Repeat the Pattern: Continue this pattern – red fruit, white marshmallow/cheese, blueberries – until your skewer is almost full, leaving about an inch at the bottom for easy handling. Aim for at least two repetitions of the red-white-blue sequence on each skewer for the best visual impact.
8. 8. Arrange and Serve: Once all your kabobs are assembled, arrange them artfully on a platter. You can lay them flat, stand them upright in a tall glass, or create a fan-like display. Serve immediately or chill until ready to enjoy.
