Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh preferred)
- 2 cups strawberries (hulled)
- 1.5 cups grapes (red or green)
- 3 pieces kiwi (peeled and sliced into thick chunks)
- 1 large mango (peeled and cubed)
- 0.5 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
- 10 pieces wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and minced mint leaves to create the marinade.
Step 2
Prepare all the fruit by washing thoroughly. Peel and cut the pineapple, kiwi, and mango into bite-sized chunks. Hull the strawberries and leave them whole, and ensure the grapes are removed from their stems.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, add all the prepared fruit. Pour the citrus marinade over the fruit and toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. If you have time, marinate for up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 5
While the fruit is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for 15–20 minutes to prevent them from burning if using on a grill. (This step is optional if no grilling is involved.)
Step 6
After marination is complete, thread the fruit onto the skewers in a colorful pattern, alternating between different fruits for a visually appealing presentation.
Step 7
Serve immediately as is, or refrigerate the assembled kabobs until ready to serve. Optionally, grill the skewers for 1–2 minutes on each side for a smoky flavor boost.
