Fruit Skewers
Serves: 6 (makes approx. 20 skewers)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
1 serves per portion
Recipe courtesy of Rosemary Chochrane
Ingredients:
- 1 small pineapple
- 40 red seedless grapes
- 40 green seedless grapes
- 40 strawberries
- 20 bamboo skewers
Method:
- SOAK the bamboo skewers in a shallow tray of water for about 5 minutes to avoid splintering. Pat dry and set aside.
- WASH and dry the grapes and strawberries then cut the strawberries in half.
- REMOVE the top and bottom of the pineapple then remove the skin. Lay the pineapple on its side and cut into circular slices of 1-2cm thickness. Each round can then be cut into eight wedges (Note: retaining the core gives strength to the wedges for stability on the skewer).
- THREAD the fruits onto a skewer as desired and repeat the same pattern for a colourful end result.
- COVER and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
What's Great About It:
These fruit skewers are perfect for entertaining and would make a great addition to a cheese board! Swap out any of the fruits for what’s in season at the time, aiming for a variety of colours. Fruits that brown easily may need to be coated in lemon juice and may not keep for as long. Other suitable options include kiwifruit, mandarins, berries, mango, watermelon and rockmelon.
