🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Wash and prepare your fruit: Give all your fruit a good rinse. If using strawberries, hull them by removing their green tops. Cut all the fruit into bite-sized pieces, roughly the same size for even cooking. Think about 1-inch cubes or slices for most, and maybe slightly smaller for the berries.
- Assemble the kebabs: Carefully thread the fruit onto your skewers. I like to vary the colors and types of fruit on each skewer for a visually appealing presentation. You can make this step a fun activity for kids too!
- Optional: Add a citrusy glaze (optional): If you're feeling fancy, you can prepare a simple glaze to add extra zing. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of cinnamon. Simmer over low heat until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.
- Grill or broil: Preheat your grill or broiler to medium heat. Grill the kebabs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until slightly softened and slightly caramelized. If using the glaze, brush it over the kebabs during the last minute of grilling for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately: Remove the kebabs from the grill or broiler. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, maybe with some whipped cream or yogurt on the side. Enjoy! (Note: always supervise children around the grill/broiler).
📝 Notes
- Feel free to adjust the quantity of each fruit based on preference.
- For a more intense flavor, marinate fruit in some lime or lemon juice for 15 minutes before assembling kebabs.
- If making for kids, ensure you are present while they are consuming the kebabs to avoid choking on larger pieces of fruit..
