Ingredients
  

Fruit and skewers
  • 2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries leave whole
  • 2 cup large marshmallows or white grapes use either marshmallows or white grapes
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks for threading

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Wash and prep all fruit: hull the strawberries and leave the blueberries whole. Visual cue: strawberries look neatly halved with no green stems.
  2. Thread each skewer with a repeating pattern of 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, and 1 strawberry, continuing for 2–3 repeats per skewer depending on skewer length. Visual cue: the colors line up in an even sequence from tip to tip.
Chill and serve
  1. Line the completed skewers on a serving platter or tray. Visual cue: skewers are spaced so the patriotic pattern stays visible.
  2. Refrigerate the kabobs until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead. Visual cue: they look chilled and slightly firm for clean grab-and-go eating.
  3. Serve chilled. Visual cue: the red strawberries, white marshmallows, and blue blueberries stay vibrant and distinct.

Notes

Pro tip: thread the same order on every skewer and aim for similar counts so the tray looks uniform in overhead photos. Store in the refrigerator up to 2 hours for best texture; they’re not ideal for longer storage due to moisture from fruit. Freezing isn’t recommended. Dietary swap: use white grapes instead of marshmallows for a lower-sugar, more fruit-forward version.
