Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries leave whole
  • 2 cup large marshmallows or white grapes use either; keep white pieces uniform
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks have ready for threading

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Wash all strawberries and blueberries, then hull the strawberries and halve them if large; keep the blueberries whole for uniform pieces.
  2. Thread each skewer in a repeating pattern: 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, 1 strawberry, repeating 2–3 times per skewer depending on skewer length.
  3. Line the completed skewers on a serving platter or tray so the red-white-blue sequence stays visible.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the fruit kabobs until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead, and keep them chilled for the best texture.
  2. Serve chilled as a grab-and-go party appetizer or dessert with the kabobs lined up like little flags.

Notes

Pro tip: keep strawberry halves similar in size so every kabob looks consistent in a patriotic row. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; do not freeze, as fruit texture can get watery after thawing. For a simple swap, use white grapes instead of marshmallows to reduce sweetness while keeping the same red-white-blue look.
