Ingredients
  

Fruit kabobs
  • 2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 cup large marshmallows or white grapes
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Wash and prep all fruit by hulling the strawberries and leaving the blueberries whole. Keep strawberries dry after rinsing so the skewer pattern stays clean.
Thread the skewers
  1. Thread each skewer in a repeating pattern of 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, and 1 strawberry, repeating 2–3 times per skewer depending on length. Line them up in the patriotic order so the colors alternate like little flags.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the completed skewers until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead. Serve chilled as a grab-and-go party appetizer or dessert.

Notes

For the cleanest look, pat strawberries completely dry before threading so moisture doesn’t make the marshmallows slip. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended because the berries soften and release juice. For a kid-friendlier swap, replace marshmallows with white grapes for a less-sweet version while keeping the same patriotic pattern.
