Ingredients
  

Fruit kabob skewers
  • 2 cup strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup blueberries fresh, left whole
  • 2 cup marshmallows large marshmallows or white grapes
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks

Method
 

Prep and assemble
  1. Wash and prep all fruit by hulling the strawberries and leaving the blueberries whole; pat everything dry for cleaner threading.
  2. Thread each skewer in a repeating pattern of 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, and 1 strawberry, repeating 2–3 times per skewer depending on skewer length, until the patriotic sequence is complete.
  3. Line completed skewers on a serving platter or tray in a neat, upright row so colors stay visible.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the kabobs until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead, covered lightly to prevent drying.
  2. Serve chilled as a grab-and-go party appetizer or dessert so the fruit stays crisp and the marshmallows hold their shape.

Notes

For the cleanest look, let strawberries dry fully after rinsing so the marshmallows don’t get slippery. Refrigerate in a single layer on a tray for up to 2 days (best texture within 24 hours); freezing is not recommended. If you want a lighter option, swap the marshmallows for white grapes or seedless white grapes while keeping the same threading pattern.
