American Flag Fruit Kabobs

American Flag Fruit Kabobs 

These patriotic, festive, and healthy fruit kabobs will surely be a hit at your 4th of July picnic or any summer party! They are so easy to assemble and great for the kids to help put together!

Ingredients:

• 1 – 2 lbs. strawberries, sliced
• 4 – 5  bananas, cut into 1″ slices (soaked in lemon juice)
• 1 pint of fresh blueberries
• 10 wooden skewers, 12″
• Note – list of red, white, and blue ingredient substitution options provided below*

Instructions:

1. Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice large strawberries in half; small berries can be left whole.
2. Cut the bananas into 1″ slices.
3. Dip banana slices into lemon juice to prevent browning.
4. On the first 5 skewers, with the pointed end, spear 10 blueberries through the middle, in a row.
5. After you have speared 10 blueberries add a banana slice, a strawberry, another banana slice, and then end with another strawberry. It looks best if the strawberries all point the same way. Repeat this pattern on 4 more skewers.
6. On the remaining 5 skewers, pierce 1 strawberry, followed by 1 banana slice, followed by 1 strawberry, repeating this pattern until you have used 5 strawberries and 4 bananas.
7. Repeat the strawberry/banana pattern on the remaining 4 skewers.
8. Arrange the skewers on a serving tray or cookie sheet to make the patriotic flag design.
9. Serve immediately or refrigerate until you are ready to serve Flag Fruit Kabob!
