Notes
- Rainbow Fruit Kabobs - choose various in season fruits in the different colors of the rainbow to thread on the skewers.
- Monochromatic - Choose fruits that are all in the same color family, like oranges and cantaloupe and papaya.
- Add marshmallows - Thread a couple of jumbo marshmallows in between every 2 pieces of fruit.
- Make Ahead: Cut up fruits a day ahead of time and thread on the skewers about an hour before serving. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
- Storage: Store leftover fruit skewers in an airtight container or plastic resealable bag for up to 2-3 days.
- Freezing fruits: You can absolutely freeze any of the fruits you cut and don't use. Place the cut up fruit on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and flash freeze for one hour. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 6 months. Frozen fruit can be thawed and used for kabobs or tossed into smoothies, pancakes or ice cream.
