I LOVE the look of the Fruit kabobs.
I use them as one would a flower arrangement,
it is bright & cheery...
and KIDS LOVE THEM!!
The Glaze gives a nice shiny coating and placing the remaining fruit in a hallowed out watermelon gives it a festive look!
I use whatever fruit is fresh, looks goods at the store, and is reasonably priced.
This time strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, cantaloupe, & watermelon.
I kept strawberries, red grapes & blue berries whole, used a melon baller for cantaloupe, & chunked the pineapple.
Layered the skewers strawberries first, blueberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, then grapes. Brushed with glaze so the fruit stayed fresh looking.
I cut a head of lettuce in half and adjusted to bowl height to serve as a base for the kabobs to stand and at times I will used some decorative element to hide the lettuce base.

For Fruit Salad:
I added watermelon that had been rounded with melon-baller and rest of kabob fruit and gently folded the fruit salad with a glaze.
Added fruit salad to half of a watermelon that had been hallowed out.
Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
-
1/2 cup orange juice (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons (fresh) lemon juice
