We recently went for " Pick your own fruit farm". It was really fun to pick fresh fruits directly from the farm. There we got fruits like strawberries, cherries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. So I made this creative fruit skewers for a evening snack. This is fun and healthy snack/dessert, easy and quick to make and a nice treat to eyes. You can serve plain or drizzle with some honey or serve it with a bowl of heavy cream.
Ingredients
3 Whole Strawberries
6 Banana Slices
6 Blueberries
6 Cherries
3 Blackberries
3 Cantaloupe Pieces
3 Wooden Skewers
Method
- Wash the fruits in a cold running tap water.
- Slice the banana and cut the cantaloupe into triangle shape.
- Slide the fruits onto skewers one at a time and they are ready to go.
- An alternative is to freeze it for 2hrs and serve it with a bowl of heavy cream..
Tips- On outdoors you can grill it in the rack of barbeque, after that drizzle it with some honey and toasted nuts.
- You can have some marshmallow in between the fruits on skewers.
