Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (approximately 1/2 medium pineapple, peeled and cored)
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved (approximately 1 pint)
Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for drizzling)
- Zest of 1 lime (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Pineapple: Peel, core, and cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks to ensure easy threading onto skewers and comfortable bites.
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the hulls, and halve them lengthwise to match the size of the pineapple chunks.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread pineapple chunks and strawberry halves alternately onto wooden or metal skewers, creating a colorful and visually appealing pattern.
- Arrange for Serving: Place the assembled fruit skewers neatly on a serving platter, ready to be garnished and served.
- Add Optional Garnishes: Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves evenly over the skewers, drizzle honey or agave syrup if you prefer added sweetness, and scatter lime zest for a fresh aromatic touch.
- Serve or Store: Serve the fruit skewers immediately for optimal freshness or refrigerate them until ready to serve to keep them cool and crisp.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use agave syrup instead of honey.
- Use metal or soaked wooden skewers to prevent burning if grilling.
- These fruit skewers are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
- Add other fruits like kiwi or melon for variety.
- Keep refrigerated if preparing ahead to maintain freshness and prevent fruit spoilage.
