These colorful fruit kabobs feature fresh strawberries, blueberries, and white grapes drizzled with a tangy honey lime glaze, perfect for patriotic celebrations or a refreshing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • Seedless white grapes, washed
  • 3 tablespoons raw or local honey
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Pinch of finely grated lime zest (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fruit under cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Hull and halve the strawberries so each piece is bite-sized but still sturdy enough for skewering. Remove stems from grapes if needed.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of honey, juice of 1 fresh lime (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml), a pinch of lime zest, and a dash of sea salt. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired.
  3. Thread the fruit onto each skewer, alternating colors to create the red, white, and blue pattern — strawberry, grape, blueberry, repeat. Each skewer should have about 3-4 pieces of each fruit, leaving space at the ends for easy gripping.
  4. Arrange the kabobs on a serving platter and lightly drizzle the honey lime mixture over the top. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh mint leaves or a tiny pinch of sea salt.
  5. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate the kabobs. Re-drizzle or stir gently before serving. Best consumed within 4 hours.

Notes

Use firm, fresh fruit to prevent mushiness. Pat fruit dry to avoid soggy kabobs. Whisk honey and lime juice just before drizzling to maintain texture. Keep kabobs chilled until serving. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup. Optional additions include mint leaves or small cubes of mozzarella or feta cheese. Grilling kabobs briefly adds a smoky flavor.
