Instructions

A feel-good dessert for the whole family

Who doesn’t love a dessert that is colourful, easy to assemble and quick to make? These warm fruit skewers are the perfect addition to the breakfast table, barbeque buffet or after-dinner treat.

Fruit on skewers – a fun and easy party snack for kids

We all know the struggle of incorporating smaller snacks on our party menu. Enter the fruit skewer: a colourful and fun alternative that will be as popular as the cake table. Take it one step further with a do-it-yourself table: bowls of pre-cut fruit and blunt wooden skewers where the young ones can build their very own snack.

Different fruits you can use

Think of this as more of an idea as opposed to a strict recipe. Your combinations can be as classic (think apple, pear, or pineapple) or exotic (experiment with figs, mangoes or even watermelon) as you want.

Fruits to avoid when making fruit skewers

A general rule of thumb is to avoid overripe fruit, or anything that will be too soft to hold up on a skewer.
