Ingredients
  

Fruit and skewers
  • 2 cup fresh strawberries Hull and halve if large.
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries Leave whole.
  • 2 cup large marshmallows Or use white grapes if preferred.
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep and thread the kabobs
  1. Wash the strawberries and blueberries, then hull the strawberries and leave the blueberries whole.
  2. Thread each skewer in a repeating pattern of 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, and 1 strawberry, repeating 2–3 times depending on skewer length.
  3. Line the completed skewers on a serving platter or tray so they sit in an even row.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the kabobs until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead, then keep chilled.
  2. Serve chilled as a grab-and-go party appetizer or dessert.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the berries dry before threading so the marshmallows and strawberries don’t slip. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days; the fruit texture softens after that. Freezing is not recommended. Dietary swap: use white grapes instead of marshmallows for a lighter, lower-sugar kabob.
