Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. strawberries, sliced
  • 4-5 bananas, cut into 1″ slices (soaked in lemon juice)
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 10 12″ wooden skewers

Instructions

  • Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice large strawberries in half; small berries can be left whole.
  • Slice bananas with peeling paring knife in fruit kabob video
  • Cut the bananas into 1″ slices.
  • Dip banana slices into lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • On the first 5 skewers, with the pointed end, spear 10 blueberries through the middle, in a row.
  • After you have speared 10 blueberries add a banana slice, a strawberry, another banana slice and then end with another strawberry. It looks best if the strawberries all point the same way. Repeat this pattern on 4 more skewers.
  • On the remaining 5 skewers, pierce 1 strawberry, followed by 1 banana slice, followed by 1 strawberry, repeating this pattern until you have used 5 strawberries and 4 bananas.
  • Repeat the strawberry/banana pattern on the remaining 4 skewers.
  • Arrange the skewers on a serving tray or cookie sheet to make the patriotic flag design.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until you are ready to serve Flag Fruit Kabob! These red, white, and blue fruit kabobs are sure to be a hit!
