Ingredients
  

Fruit kabob ingredients
  • 2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries leave whole after washing
  • 2 cup large marshmallows or white grapes use marshmallows for classic white centers, or substitute white grapes
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks use enough to skewer all kabobs

Equipment

  • 1 wooden skewers

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Wash all fruit, then hull the strawberries and halve them if large while leaving the blueberries whole.
  2. Set the prepared strawberries, blueberries, and marshmallows or white grapes on a tray so they’re ready to skewer.
Assemble the kabobs
  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.
  2. Line the completed skewers on a serving platter or tray so the patriotic sequence stays visible.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the kabobs until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead, for a firmer grab-and-go bite.
  2. Serve chilled as a party appetizer or dessert.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep skewers consistent by counting the repeats per kabob (2–3 cycles) so each one looks uniform like little flags. Store refrigerated in an airtight container up to 24 hours; do not freeze for best texture. For a lighter, dairy-free option, swap the marshmallows for white grapes or use vegan marshmallows.
