Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Fruit and skewers
  • 2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 cup large marshmallows or white grapes
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Wash and prep all fruit by hulling the strawberries and leaving the blueberries whole, then pat everything dry so the skewers stay neat.
Thread the kabobs
  1. Thread each skewer using a repeating pattern of 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, and 1 strawberry; repeat 2–3 times per skewer depending on its length, with each section visible like a little flag.
Arrange and chill
  1. Line the completed kabobs on a serving platter or tray in a single layer so they look uniform from the top.
  2. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead, keeping them covered if possible to prevent drying.
Serve
  1. Serve the red, white, and blue fruit kabobs chilled as an easy grab-and-go party appetizer or dessert.

Notes

For the cleanest look, dry the fruit well before assembling and use similar-sized strawberries so the pattern stays evenly spaced. Store assembled kabobs covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; freeze is not recommended because berries can soften and the marshmallows or grapes may change texture. If you want a lower-sugar option, swap the white marshmallows for white grapes to keep a patriotic red-white-blue look.
