Instructions

Rinse your fruits under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Cut off the hull end of the strawberries and slice them into quarters.
Hold a skewer in one hand and thread the ingredients in this order: strawberry, marshmallow, blueberry. Repeat the pattern until each skewer is filled, leaving an inch at the bottom for handling.
You can lay your 4th of July fruit skewers on your platter, all pointing in the same direction, or try a more creative arrangement and make them look like the American flag.

Notes

Make your 4th of July fruit kabobs extra patriotic and use them to create an American flag! Just thread 4 to 5 blueberries on 4 to 5 skewers, followed by alternating marshmallows and strawberries. On the other skewers, alternate strawberries and marshmallows, so the first and last ingredients on each skewer are both strawberries.
To showcase the red, white, and blue pattern best, use skewers that are at least 6 inches for these Fourth of July fruit kabobs. Your ingredients should also be at least 1/2 inch thick for easy piercing.
Want more fun and refreshing summer snack ideas? While these patriotic fruit skewers are best made with fresh fruits to keep the ingredients from turning mushy and leaking moisture on the platter, you can freeze them before serving! Place the finished July 4th fruit skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours. So good!
