Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole (hulled and halved if large) strawberries
- 24 whole seedless grapes
- 18 pieces (1-inch) pineapple chunks
- 1 medium (sliced into thick rounds) banana
- 18 pieces mandarin orange segments
- 12 pieces child-safe plastic skewers or popsicle sticks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Prepare all fruits. Wash and dry the strawberries, grapes, and mandarin orange segments. Hull strawberries and cut them in half if they are large. Peel the pineapple and cut it into 1-inch chunks. Slice the banana into thick rounds.
Optional: To keep the banana slices from browning, gently toss them in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Add honey to the lemon juice for a slight glaze if desired.
Assemble the skewers. Take a blunt plastic skewer or popsicle stick and thread on one piece of each fruit in this order: strawberry, grape, pineapple chunk, banana slice, mandarin orange. Repeat until the skewer is full, leaving a small gap at the top for handling.
Continue assembling the remaining skewers until all ingredients are used. Adjust the fruit order based on personal preference or visual appeal.
Arrange the fruit skewers on a serving platter and serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Avoid leaving them too long as bananas can brown over extended periods.
