Ingredients
  

Fruit kabobs
  • 2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries left whole
  • 2 cup large marshmallows or white grapes use either option
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks for skewer assembly

Equipment

  • 1 wooden skewers

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Wash and prep all fruit by hulling the strawberries and leaving the blueberries whole.
  2. Halve strawberries if they are large so each piece threads evenly onto the skewers.
Thread the kabobs
  1. Thread each skewer in a repeating pattern of 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, 1 strawberry, and repeat 2–3 times per skewer depending on skewer length.
  2. Arrange the completed skewers in rows on a serving platter or tray with visible alternating colors.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the kabobs until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead, so they stay firm and easy to grab.
  2. Serve chilled as a grab-and-go party appetizer or dessert.

Notes

For the clean “little flags” look, aim for similar-sized strawberry halves and keep the color pattern tight on each skewer. Store assembled kabobs covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Freezing is not recommended since fruit texture softens after thawing. For a lighter option, substitute the marshmallows with white grapes to reduce added sugar while keeping the red-white-blue pattern.
