There is something about the combination of juicy fruit and crispy, crunchy vegetables that just makes my mouth water. And, of course, the fact that they are skewered means that they are easy to eat on the go. I often take fruit skewers with me when I am traveling, or when I am heading to the gym.

Fruit Skewers with a Twist

Fruit skewers are a refreshing and easy-to-make summer treat! This variation features watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew, but feel free to use your favorite fruits. Simply cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces and thread onto skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. Serve the skewers with a dipping sauce or enjoy as is!


Can fruit skewers be made the night before?

Yes, fruit skewers can be made the night before! Simply thread your desired fruit onto skewers, and store them in the fridge overnight. In the morning, remove the skewers from the fridge and enjoy your healthy, refreshing breakfast!


What fruit is best for skewers?

  • Pineapple – Pineapple is one of the most popular fruits for skewers. It is easy to skewer and has a great flavor.
  • Watermelon – Watermelon is another great fruit for skewers. It is refreshing and has a great flavor.
  • Cantaloupe – Cantaloupe is another great fruit for skewers. It is sweet and has a great flavor.
  • Honeydew – Honeydew is another great fruit for skewers. It is sweet and has a great flavor.
  • Strawberries – Strawberries are another great fruit for skewers. They are sweet and have a great flavor.



Do you need to soak skewers for fruit?

Soak skewers for fruit? The short answer is no. The long answer is that it really depends on the fruit you’re using. If you’re using harder fruits like apples or pears, soak the skewers for about 30 minutes in water. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning. If you’re using softer fruits like bananas or strawberries, there’s no need to soak the skewers. Just make sure to cook them over low heat so they don’t fall apart.


How long will fruit skewers last?

Fruit skewers are a healthy and refreshing snack or dessert, and they’re also incredibly easy to make. But how long do they last?

Ideally, fruit skewers should be eaten within a day or two of being made. After that, the fruit will start to lose its freshness and become less appetizing.

Of course, if you’re using hardier fruits like apples or pears, they’ll last a bit longer than softer fruits like berries or grapes. And if you’re using fruit that is already starting to go bad, it’s best to eat it right away.

So, the next time you’re in the mood for a fruit skewer, make them fresh and enjoy them while they’re at their best!
