4th of July Fruit Kabobs
These 4th of July Fruit Kabobs are festive, easy to make, and perfect for summer gatherings. Featuring strawberries, blueberries, and mini marshmallows arranged in patriotic colors, they’re a fun, healthy, and kid-friendly treat for Independence Day celebrations.
Ingredients
- 1 pint about 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 pint about 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 12 wooden skewers 6 to 8 inches long
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Pat dry.
- Cut strawberries into quarters or halves, depending on their size.
- To assemble each skewer: start with a strawberry piece, followed by a marshmallow, a blueberry, another marshmallow, and another strawberry. Repeat as needed to fill the skewer.
- Place completed skewers on a tray or board.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes before serving for the best taste and texture.
Notes
For a healthier alternative, swap marshmallows with banana slices or cheese cubes.
Great for kids — consider using shorter skewers or lollipop sticks.
Best served fresh but can be prepped up to a day in advance.
