FAQs
Can you make Fruit Kabobs the night before?
Yes of course! These Red, White, and Blue Patriotic Fruit Kabobs can be easily made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. You can also freeze these. Learn how to freeze fruits and keep them fresh.
Do you soak Skewers for Fruit Kabobs?
Yes. Soaking the Skewers will moisten them and it will be easier to thread the kabobs and serve them after.
How do you keep Fruit Kabobs from turning brown?
Fresh fruits turn brown easily. So just squeeze some Lemon or Lime Juice over the fruits and then serve them. Don't worry them Lemon Juice won't overpower the fruit flavor, in fact it will bring out the berry flavors even more!
How do you make Grilled Fruit Kabobs?
Just knead the fruits into skewers and then place on the grill for 2-4 minutes or until grilled on both sides.
If you want Grilled Patriotic Kabobs, replace Marshmallows with Bananas!
