Ingredients
- 5 different types of fruits
Steps
- Choose which kind of grapes you'll use. You can either use white (Concord) grapes, which are the green ones, red grapes or purple grapes. You can also alternate. Note that the purple ones have seeds, and some red ones do, so keep this in mind if you're serving someone who doesn't like seeds.
- Choose 5 different types of fruits. You could use any of these:
- Cantaloupe
- Honeydew melon
- Watermelon
- Apples (any type)
- Oranges (any type)
- Bananas (chocolate-dipped ones are great, too)
- Strawberries
- Plums/prunes
- Apricots, nectarines, tangerines, tangelos, clementines, etc. (fresh or dried)
- Lemon
- Lime
- Pears (any type)
- Pineapples
- Or feel free to make your own selections.
- Gather your skewers and fruit.
- Decide on a pattern for your fruits to go in. Usually there's a grape on either end, and then a fruit, followed by a different fruit, followed by a grape, and so on. An example: grape, cantaloupe, grape, melon, grape, apricot, grape, plum, grape, apple, grape. If you're using different colors of grapes, you need to account for those, too.
- Stick a grape onto the far end of the skewer.
- Choose a fruit and add that next to the grape.
- Follow this process for the remainder of the skewer:
- Add a grape.
- Add a fruit.
- Add a grape
- Add a fruit
- Add one more grape and set this kebab aside.
- Repeat to make as many kebabs as you need.
Tips
- To serve, lie the kebabs flat on a platter and let your guests help themselves.
- Cut your fruits the way you would serve them on their own as finger foods. Bananas should be in cylindrical bits. Apples and most citrus can be sliced into three-dimensional wedges. Dried fruits are fine as they are when you take them out of the package, as are grapes. Melons can be sliced into cubes. Pineapple should be cored into rings, and the rings should be sliced into eighths.
- If you want it to look fancier, try using different kinds of fruit, like star fruits.
- Most skewers will hold up to 5 fruits, sliced appropriately. Add the grapes and the skewer will be chock-full.
