Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Pineapple
- 2 whole Mango
- 4 whole Kiwi
- 12 whole Strawberries
- 2 whole Banana
- 0.5 cup Coconut flakes
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 12 pieces Bamboo skewers
Instructions
1. Prepare the fruits: Peel and core the pineapple, then cut into bite-sized chunks. Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into cubes. Peel the kiwis and slice into thick rounds, then cut the rounds into halves. Hull the strawberries and leave them whole. Peel the bananas and slice into coin-sized rounds.
2. In a small bowl, mix the honey and lime juice together to create a light glaze.
3. Set up an assembly station with all the prepared fruits and the bamboo skewers.
4. Thread the fruits onto the skewers in a desired pattern, alternating between different fruits for color and variety. For example, start with a strawberry, followed by pineapple, mango, kiwi, and banana. Repeat until the skewer is full, leaving about 1 inch of the stick exposed at both ends for easy handling.
5. Once all the skewers are assembled, lightly brush the honey-lime glaze onto the fruits using a pastry brush.
6. Sprinkle the coconut flakes evenly over the skewers for a hint of tropical flavor and texture.
7. Arrange the skewers on a large platter or serving tray for a visually appealing presentation and serve immediately. Enjoy!
