Fruit Skewers

Fruit skewers are a healthy and colorful option for a dessert or an afternoon snack. Here’s the recipe for preparing fresh and tasty fruit skewers.

Ingredients

• A variety of fruit of your choice (for example, pineapple, melon, watermelon, kiwi, strawberries, grapes, mango)
• Lemon juice (to preserve the color of the fruit)
• Honey (optional, to sweeten)
• Toothpicks or long skewers

Preparation

1. Start by washing all the fruit under running water.
2. Peel the necessary fruits, such as pineapple, kiwi, and mango, and remove any cores or seeds.
3. Cut the fruit into similarly sized pieces so that they can be threaded onto the skewers easily and remain balanced.
4. Thread the fruit pieces onto toothpicks or skewers, alternating colors and varieties for a visually appealing effect.
5. Optionally, you can sprinkle some lemon juice over the skewers to prevent the fruit from oxidizing and changing color.
6. If you desire an extra touch, lightly brush the skewers with honey. This will make them sweeter and glossy.
7. Place the fruit skewers in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
